China's New Dawn: An Architectural TransformationPrestel, 2005 - 191 Seiten In this book, Dawson looks at the historical, social, and economic forces that have shaped China's modern architecture and its struggle to define its own architectural aesthetics as its economy expands at an incredible rate. She examines projects by Chinese and non-Chinese architects, including Hadid's Soho City masterplan, Koolhaas's CCTV Headquarters, Foster's Shanghai Tower, and plans for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. She explains the liabilities of opening up the country and shows how conflicting architectural philosophies are visible in China's newly rising skylines. |
