Description

More new projects than you can shake a stick at in the forthcoming centre of the world. Describes and illustrates over 100 new buildings throughout China, none completed earlier than the turn of the new millennium and some still under construction. Project-by-project entries cover every building type, from private houses and apartments to museums and art galleries; from theatres and opera houses to schools and colleges; from shops and hotels to sports arenas and exhibition halls. Internationally acclaimed architects such as Herzog & de Meuron, Rem Koolhaas, Kisho Kurokawa, Paul Andreu, Norman Foster, Zaha Hadid, Riken Yamamoto, I.M. Pei, Steven Holl and many others are featured alongside smaller, emerging and more local practices. The only thing missing is an Amnesty International branch office.

Includes all the winning competition schemes for the Beijing Olympics in 2008. I'll bet London's don't look as futuristic.
In the same series as the highly successful books New London Architecture and New Architecture in Britain.
A compelling reference book for architects, designers and anyone interested in Chinas future as one of the most exciting architectural showcases of the twenty-first century.
