This issue also features the SZ Art Center in 798, the spectacular new Aman Beijing by the Summer Palace, as well as the story of large-scale forced migration on the Qinghai plateau, the designer behind SQY-T’s innovative “Skin of the City” series of apparel, architect Zhang Lei’s stylish-but-simple brick house designs in Jiangxi province, the boldness of Chinese *Internet vigilantes*, Xu Bing’s Forest Project in Kenya and much more.
