China: Architectural Guide

In an era of accelerating population growth, mass urbanization, and increasing pressure on the natural environment, the megacities of China`s eastern seaboard have become a focal point of architectural and urban-design attention. The “reform and opening-up era” has touched China`s major cities in different ways, affecting the existing fabric of dynastic capitals, trade hubs, and former European colonies and concessions; this in turn has provided the setting for a range of complex reactions by contemporary architects. `China: Architectural Guide` provides an invaluable window into this work, with city-by-city coverage including historic maps and background information on urban form. Building on the authors` years of experience leading architectural study tours, this book is the first comprehensive English-language survey of recent Chinese architecture to be organized as a travel guide.
