About this book

This book gathers essays on the architecture of modern China, arranged in chronological order and covering the period from 1729 to 2008. Most of the attention goes to the twentieth century, while the chronology gives the wider story its shape.

Jianfei Zhu combines critical and historical research, and takes a long view that reaches beyond the current scene and beyond the Maoist period. The result is a condensed treatment that picks out key topics from a very wide subject.

The short format makes the book a practical entry point for students of architectural history and Chinese urban studies, and for general readers who want a concise overview.
