Description
A book presenting 36 excellent specimens of contemporary Chinese design and architecture, this will excite and enthuse fans of new architecture.
China is booming, not only in its rapidly growing economy, but also through innovation in decorative and fine arts, interior design and architecture. This is the first major survey of the new directions in style and design taken by the architects, designers and homeowners of Chinas leading urban centres.
China Contemporary showcases 36 examples of the new wave of Chinese design through the stunning photography of Michael Freeman and the perceptive commentary and interviews of Chinese journalist Xiao Dan Wang. Some of the structures have taken the traditional Chinese vernacular and reinvigorated it, while others show a distinctly western influence. But whatever the emphasis of their design principles, all the buildings and interiors have a distinctive air of visual excitement and vibrancy, and all are utterly contemporary.
