New Architecture in China

Synopsis

This book engagingly describes and illustrates more than 100 outstanding 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. Such internationally acclaimed architects 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.
