But they already paint an even starker picture of an ultra-powerful China at the center of economics and — by extension — politics: In terms of its capacity to project its will, Jonathan Hillman, of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, compares the grid plans to Russia's leveraging of its natural gas pipelines to intimidate Europe.

Aesthetically, I also greatly enjoyed stepping into the minimalist, silver-colored harmony of Prouvé's porthole-peppered structure "École de Bouqueval" ("Bouqueval School," 1949) and the starker, yet flashier, red-hot shelter "École de Villejuif" ("Villejuif School," 1949), as they both exemplify Prouvé's stylish, industrially produced architecture as applied to social necessities that challenge bourgeois notions of architecture as investment properties.
