商品簡介
Zhu (architecture building and planning, U. of Melbourne) presents an examination and explanation of modern Chinese architecture from both theoretical and historical perspectives. Covering the period between 1729 and 2008, this book is based on the author's lectures and writings presented since the late 1990s. Its multi-faceted approach provides an analysis of a variety of topics: from the relationships between architects and political authority to changes that came about as a result of liberalization in the post-Mao era. Two threads run through the book, an empirical historical narrative in tandem with an extensive analysis of formal and social issues in modern Chinese architecture. It will interest anyone interested in modern Chinese architecture, from students to architects and academics. The book contains numerous photos and illustrations.
