“In Architecture You Can Make a Better Version of the World”: In conversation with Zhang Lei of AZL Architects
Nanjing-based architect Zhang Lei (b. 1964, Jiangsu, China) does not believe in history, only time. He is convinced that history is something that is taking place in our own time, being shaped by particular circumstances, current programmatic demands, latest building techniques, and contemporary sensibilities.
