Building a Revolution: Chinese Architecture Since 1980



Building a Revolution: Chinese Architecture Since 1980
Publisher: Hong Kong Univ Pr | edition 2006 | PDF | 204 pages | 35,5 mb


Since China's modernization began in 1980, the country has witnessed exponential growth in construction activities. In a deliberate attempt to break away from the past, China has shown remarkable drive and determination to refashion itself in terms of architectural and town planning practices. While there are many books about traditional Chinese architecture and gardens, this is perhaps the first book in English to introduce the dramatic new look of China.
