Architects play a critical role in designing the buildings and spaces we interact with on a daily basis. Designing places we actually want to live and work in can lead to dramatic increases in overall mental health, physical well-being, and overall happiness.

It's almost impossible to keep track of the amount of excellent architecture coming out of China right now. While Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong still lead the way in terms of building big, there are "smaller" cities like Wuhan, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Ningbo, Nanjing, Fuzhou, Quzhou, Tianjin, Taizhou, Shaoxing, and Yangtze, Yangzhou, Zhongshan
