Exploring Reading for the first time last week, I was quite surprised by the architectural variety to be seen around town, but this spot has to be a bit of a favourite so far. I'm a sucker for quirky arches and tunnels that hide scenes from view until you pass under them, revealing a completely different vista, but this scene is also quite interesting for the comparison of traditional vernacular architecture on Castle Street with the more modern architecture of the housing development behind.

Vernacular architecture is distinct from classical architecture in the sense that it was usually built more for pure functionality foregoing artistic decoration, but traditional vernacular architecture is still greatly appreciated by architectural traditionalists because it still features some variation in the basic structural pattern that break up the monotony of a large blank wall space, even be it as simple as the brick or stone arches over windows and doors to bear the weight of the structure above and transfer it around the door or window in question. The potential for decorative effect is well seen in the terraced buildings on Castle Street, which have used different materials to visually stand out more.

Technological developments in the early 20th century rendered the need for such practical features null, allowing architects to explore new artistic styles that might have their admirers, but have not seemed to gain the same universal appreciation even after the passage of time.

The more modern housing development is a typical example of modern housing estate architecture - no bold statements, and in this case there's some variation in brickwork that does something to break up the monotony of large wall faces, but there's certainly none of the character of the earlier housing stock. Of course, it does what it's meant to do, and that's no bad thing, but when we consider architecture as the backdrop of people's lives, surely we can do more to explore and create architecture that will be more universally liked?

BEIJING — China’s struggling real estate developers won’t be getting a major bailout, Chinese authorities have indicated, warning that those who “harm the interests of the masses” will be punished.

“For real estate companies that are seriously insolvent and have lost the ability to operate, those that must go bankrupt should go bankrupt, or be restructured, in accordance with the law and market principles,” Ni Hong, Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, said at a press conference Saturday.

“Those who commit acts that harm the interests of the masses will be resolutely investigated and punished in accordance with the law,” he said. “They will be made to pay the due price.”

That’s according to a CNBC translation of his Mandarin-language remarks published in an official transcript of the press conference, held alongside China’s annual parliamentary meetings.

Ni’s comments come as major real estate developers from Evergrande to Country Garden have defaulted on their debt, while plunging new home sales have put future business into question.

In 2020, Beijing cracked down on developers’ high reliance on debt for growth in an attempt to clamp down on property market speculation. But many developers soon ran out of money to finish building apartments, which are typically sold to homebuyers in China ahead of completion. Some buyers stopped paying their mortgages in a boycott.

Authorities have since announced measures to provide some developers with financing. But the national stance on reducing the role of real estate in the economy hasn’t changed.

This year’s annual government gathering has emphasized the country’s focus on investing in and building up high-end manufacturing capabilities. In contrast, the leadership has not mentioned the massive real estate sector as much.

Real estate barely came up during a press conference focused on the economy last week, while Ni was speaking during a meeting that focused on “people’s livelihoods.”

Ni said authorities would promote housing sales and the development of affordable housing, while emphasizing the need to consider the longer term.

Near-term changes in the property sector have a significant impact on China’s overall economy.

Real estate was once about 25% of China’s GDP, when including related sectors such as construction. UBS analysts estimated late last year that property now accounts for about 22% of the economy.

Last week, Premier Li Qiang said in his government work report that in the year ahead, China would “move faster to foster a new development model for real estate.”

“We will scale up the building and supply of government-subsidized housing and improve the basic systems for commodity housing to meet people’s essential need for a home to live in and their different demands for better housing,” an English-language version of the report said.

next time you complain about how things are in America, consider that if you lived in some kind of scary communist country like China, you wouldn't even get to fund a bailout for the real estate company owners who ruined the economy like you can (whether you like it or not) in the good old US of A! 🇺🇲
