On January 7, 2009 lecturer Fei Wang gave the closing lecture for the Cincinnati Art Museum’s current exhibition, “China Design Now.” His presentation was titled “Three Heterogeneity Studies of China, between the 18th Century and Contemporary.”

“China Design Now,” organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum, captures an extraordinary moment as China opens up to global influences and responds to the hopes and dreams of its new urban middle class. This is the first exhibition in the United Kingdom and United States to explore the recent explosion of contemporary design in China and the first to attempt to understand the impact of rapid economic development on architecture and design in the country’s major cities. From significant architectural projects, including the 2008 Olympic national stadium, to the latest in fashion and graphics the exhibition investigates this dynamic phase.
