Li Xinggang, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and chief architect of the China Academy of Architectural Design and Research.
On March 3rd, Li Xinggang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and chief architect of the China Academy of Architectural Design and Research, revealed to a reporter from China Real Estate News that this year’s National People’s Congress and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference have brought four proposals..
As the Chinese design host of the “Bird’s Nest” for the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the chief designer of the Yanqing competition area for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, his two Olympic works have engraved different marks of the times and also made people remember this “double Olympic” designer..
Under this well-known halo, it is his love and exploration of the construction industry, as well as his expression of the ideal of Chinese style modern architectural design..

“My biggest wish for the new year is to organically combine my job responsibilities with the performance of my committee members, study hard, think more, and conduct in-depth research. From the perspective of the construction industry and discipline, I hold the ‘great nation’ in my heart, care for the concerns of the people, and strive to become a qualified member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.” Li Xinggang said in an interview with China Real Estate News during last year’s National People’s Congress and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference..
As of the 2024 National People’s Congress and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, Li Xinggang still adheres to this vision, focusing on urban and rural construction, construction industry development, and other fields. Together with relevant industry figures, he has put forward practical proposals..
This year, his proposals are: “Proposal on Promptly Introducing New Fee Standards and Promoting High Quality Development of Architectural Design”, “Proposal on Promoting Pilot Work of National” Large Space Building Horizontal and Rapid Conversion “Infrastructure”, “Proposal on Building a National Architecture Museum to Enhance Cultural Soft Power and International Influence”, and “Proposal on Promoting the Integration of Production, Storage, Adjustment and Consumption in Rural Roof Photovoltaic Systems through Pilot Construction”..
Compared to last year, Li Xinggang’s proposal this time appears more “bold” in content..
He bluntly stated in his proposal to quickly introduce a new version of fee standards and promote high-quality development of architectural design that in 2015, the National Development and Reform Commission issued a notice on further relaxing the prices of professional services for construction projects, proposing to fully relax the implementation of market adjusted prices for engineering survey and design fees. However, due to the large proportion of state-owned investment in the construction project market and the need to comply with the “Engineering Survey and Design Fee Standards” issued in 2002 due to audit reasons, coupled with the current immature and disorderly competition in the construction design market, design fees have been declining instead of increasing for a long time, resulting in a significant gap compared to the international industry situation, which has greatly affected the progress and healthy development of the industry, It hinders the further improvement of China’s urban construction level and is difficult to support the high-quality development of the construction industry..
The design fee standard is unclear. The price adjustment mechanism of the architectural design market is not yet mature, and the architectural design fees are only related to the construction scale, without subdividing the complexity of the project, reflecting the length of the project cycle, the difficulty of design needs, the quality of design, and the urgency of design services..
The design fee is not fully covered. New policies, regulations, and standards in the field of architectural design are constantly being introduced and upgraded, and the design content is constantly increasing. The design work extends forward and backward, covering both early planning and later operational consulting. Due to the lack of national fee standards, new content such as BIM, industrialization, sponge cities, dual carbon green buildings, as well as various specialties such as earthquake resistance exceeding limits and fire protection have been added.
