A master plan by Chicago-based architecture firm Goettsch Partners has been selected as the winning scheme in the design competition for a prominent site in the new Pazhou district in Guangzhou, China. Three urban parcels form the triangular site, which is planned for seven buildings totaling 428,000 square meters. Set along the Pearl River Delta, the Pazhou district anchors the city’s expansion to the east. — bustler.net

That may be the worst urban design I have seen since 1963. Sunken plazas, 120 foot right-of-ways, seas of paving, good lord - did these guys not live through the 20th century?!
Agreed. A lot of the corporate Arch-firms are run by and staffed by 1960s era architects but with better renderings now. These designs are horrifying.
