Some words such as "affair", "romance" and "honeymoon" clearly put Koolhaas and his practice in a symbolic position as a western (white) male in relationship with China (and/or its architecture) which was described as a dis-privileged female. And it's very interesting that Ms avon, who of course attemped to speak for China at that moment, applied this metaphor naturally and willingly.

But that'll be all for this topic.
