Named one of the "five greatest architects under 50" by the Huffington Post, Zhu Pei is credited with offering solutions to the challenges of ongoing urbanization in China.

An exhibition of five works currently under construction by Zhu is underway at Berlin's Aedes Architecture Forum through May 18, offering the European design community an insight into the work process of one of China's leading contemporary architects.

"Chinese architects are increasingly becoming the ambassadors of Chinese culture and art," Li Gang, from the cultural department at the Chinese embassy in Berlin, says.
