This book provides rich coverage of the major paradigms and trends that influenced the thought and practice of landscape architecture in China at the end of the 20th century. A compendium of essays and projects, many by the pioneering landscape architect Kongjian Yu, the book addresses what is described as modern China's identity and ecological crises and the enormity of the scale of social transformation in the country. It delves into the origins of Chinese landscape architecture, the powerful idea of Shangri-La or the land of peach blossoms and the challenges of recovering landscape architecture's role as an art of survival, an art promoting sustainability and happiness.
