"These four masters were all pioneers pushing forward the frontiers of modern architecture," said Han Bing, chief director of this chapter. "They made tough sacrifices to create the legacy we are able to witness today. Many of their designs are truly marvels in the history of architectural design."
"I am going to explore the motivations which guided these men to great achievements," Han said. "And let their character and spirit continue to inspire today's young people."
The launching ceremony also marked the initiation of the new Century Masters website. After an overall upgrade, this new platform will be an online community sharing the latest information about the documentary as well as the developments in China's literature and art circles.
