Even though it might be a bit unusual for a German academic to hold such a position at a Chinese university, I agree this academic rank doesn't justify notability. However the subject meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines as a Creative Professional : "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the subject of … multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." This is true for his book Tools for Ideas, which has been reviewed, discussed, cited, translated to English and Chinese, and has been used in university education in quite a few counties. As an architect, the subject also "played a major role in co-creating" much-published architectural works in his role as a project architect in the architecture office of Álvaro Siza
