Chinese modernity - a defining overview
Rowe's third volume on the architecture of the
Far East deals with the development of modern architecture and planning
in China, with a focus on this development within the broader framework
of nation-building. Episodes and periods interrogated in the book range
Jinping's 'China Dream' 100 years later. Episodes will be foregrounded
by commentary about the general states of the nation and particularly by
urban planning undertakings. Providing a wide-ranging survey of Chinese
modern architecture that has a historic aspect to it, the book
introduces the reader to a plethora of originative and influential
buildings, momentous urban schemes as well as the architects and
planners behind them.
- Third volume of the history of Modern architecture in the Far East
- Important contribution to the debate on the relationship between architecture and nation-building
- Written by a team with unique expertise in Chinese architecture and urbanism
