With the attention on Beijing, the New York Times has prepared a small but interesting interactive map showing the creation and destruction of Beijing over the recent years. Three sections of the map highlight the new Olympic venues, the urban change of Beijing as well as new architectural projects.

You might have also seen a previous post on Dysturb.Net about associative design and the typology of Chinese housing studied by the Berlage Institute (Rotterdam) that is also fascinating.
