There are a lot of grandiose architecture that devoid of our own tradition in Beijing nowadays. As a result, the government made new guidelines about the standard for public buildings. After this, the media and many architects made a quick response to support this policy. What’s more the directive wanted to end up the gated communities and had already been worked on it to make the gated communities become open.

In spite of there are too many strange and foreign buildings like ‘Big Trousers’, please don’t forget there are still lots of traditional architecture, such as the Palace Museum, Summer Palace.

As a result, it’s reasonable for us to put more Chinese elements into our new buildings.

For myself, I leave in a gated community, it’s great. I mean there are a medium shop in our neighborhood that can satisfy all my demand, a gym that I can go there freely, a delicate garden that have quiet environment in our community. But, if the government pull down the gate around our community, those things will become completely public, I can never enjoy the comfortable and convenient condition that used to belong to me. Moreover, if there are more people go through my community, maybe it will cause environment pollution in my nice neighborhood! That’s what I can’t bother. Besides, I want to say that gated community doesn’t mean
