Lawrence Cheek, Architects Find Their Dream Client, in China; A sense of adventure that's missing in American projects. New York Times, Jan 16, 2011.

, where spec is short for specification.

(d) I can not find Chinese for Bending Paths, or what Vanke headquarters looks like to gain the fame of "groundscraper."
(d) This report praises China in general, with a caveat and an observation.

"Of course, this efficiency sometimes comes with a price: a firmly decisive, top-down system means that projects are built whether or not people in local neighborhoods want them. As Mr. McVoy observes, modern development has already erased much of China’s historic architectural fabric, like intimate courtyard neighborhoods of Beijing, which were defined by their hutongs, or alleyways. He says his firm would have 'serious misgivings' about accepting a commission that would destroy something of historical value.

"Patient relationship-building is at the heart of any long-term marketing effort in China. Mr. Heller has been traveling to China about six times a year since 2004, and much of his firm’s work has grown out of a relationship with one person in a Chinese design institute. 'It’s such a relationship-driven world,' he says. 'You go out to lunch, you go out to dinner.'
