Summary: |
Depicts the historical preservation movement in China to retain its historical character.
"About 75 percent of the old city of Beijing has vanished-including hundreds of Ming-dynasty dwellings
razed in favor of a new financial district. This spectacular book, both a collection of
fine photography and a visual record of Chinese vernacular architecture, makes very clear that
China's historic streetscapes, agricultural vistas, and villages are well worth saving..." Includes an epilogue by the architect I. M. Pei. CLICK THE "MORE IMAGES" LINK ABOVE TO SEE MORE OF THIS TITLE |
