Architectural encounters with essence and form in modern China.
Language: English
Published by MIT Press, Cambridge, Mass, 2002
paperback. Condition: Very Good. DETAILS: square PAPERBACK, very good copy but lower outer corner of pages is bruised and dented. ROWE, PETER G. / KUAN, SENG. Architectural encounters with essence and form in modern China. Cambridge, Mass: MIT Press, 2002, 287pp., . "Built around snatches of discussion overheard in a Beijing design studio, this book explores attitudes toward architecture in China since the opening of the Treaty Ports in the 1840s. Central to the discussion are the concepts of ti and yong, or "essence" and "form," Chinese characters that are used to define the proper arrangement of what should be considered modern and essentially Chinese. Ti and yong have gone through various transformations - for example, from "Chinese learning for essential principles and Western learning for practical application" to "socialist essence and cultural form" and an almost complete reversal to "modern essence and Chinese form." - CONTENTS: Traditionalism versus modernism in China -- Foreign influences and the first generation of Chinese architects -- Four architectural attitudes toward modernization -- The "big roof" controversy -- Struggles with modernism -- The "culture fever" -- A commodification and internationalization of architecture -- Modernization in China -- Appendix A. Profiles of selected Chinese architects and schools -- Appendix B. Glossary of terms. 9780262681513 ISBN 026268151X.

Add to basketpaperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
