Area architects transforming China?s face

In U.S. international trade, 95 percent of the volume travels by ship, but the other 5 percent represents two-thirds of the revenue, said Chris Foster, deputy business development secretary for Maryland.

That typically comes in the transfer of knowledge and expertise by companies like Baltimore-based RTKL, an international architectural firm that is “literally transforming the face of China,” said Foster?s supervisor, Aris Melissaratos.
