Modern Chinese Buildings by Chinese Architects

Can anyone list (and shows pics) of any large structures in China designed by Chinese architects?

I can name dozens of important, iconic structures in China by foreign architects (Koolhaus, Foster, kpf, etc, etc) but I have difficulty finding landmark structures of Chinese origin.

Am I just uninformed?

Ai Weiwei's MAD architecture probably has the highest international profile right now. http://www.i-mad.com/index.asp?go/#/news/all

MAD is responsible for Mississauga's Absolute Towers, among others.

There's got to be something by I.M. Pei somewhere in China...

^ There is, but I think he means Chinese nationals.

I couldn't find many Chinese nominations on the World Architecture Festival shortlists, but one name that cropped up was Red House China, who seem to specialise in sexy modernist homes and even sexier contemporary interiors.

Taiwan is a "rogue province" of China

but Taipei 101 is probably the most obvious choice of a modern Chinese building:

There's also Pei's Suzhou Museum:
