Beijing – The New City

œBeijing – The New City” is a superb book chronicling the city’™s transformation from imperial wonder to modern mecca.Over the past fifteen years Beijing has experienced unprecedented change-a change more dramatic and profound than ever before. Contemporary skyscrapers and architectural forms are gradually enclosing the historic city center. Steel and glass structures, constructions reminiscent of distant metropolises, highways, viaducts, and sports facilities have given Beijing a new face. Speed, combined with ever-changing rules and regulations, are the main characteristics of contemporary Beijing’™s transformation. Understanding this process means arranging intermediate and transitional phases into a logical sequence, in a historical and urban context of reference. Accomplished architecture scholars Claudio Greco and Carlo Santoro ensure that this book is comprehensive, wonderfully photographed and ultimately captivating.
