Rowe -- Pearl River Delta -- A way of Seeing (into) China by Martijn de Geus -- Yangtze River Delta -- The perfect storm by Li Shiqiao -- Other cities -- An Anatomy of Excess by Li Shiqiao This book of stunning photographs by architect and photographer Kris Provoost captures the wave of the architectural revolution in China. Internationally renowned architects such as Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Ole Scheeren, Herzog & de Meuron, Daniel Liebeskind and many others have been engaged in creative, futuristic, and flamboyant projects in China in recent years. The sky is literally the limit, both in terms of construction, use of materials and design. Unimaginable forms, which defy all rules of gravity, come to life in immense skyscrapers. Beautified China offers an overview of these revolutionary designs, capturing their surreal impact in photographs that explore the free play of form that characterizes each building. The book features essays by Rem Koolhaas, Ma Yansong & Ole Scheeren, among others, and each photograph is accompanied by information pertinent to the project, including function, environment, and context. 54088 Architecture, Modern 196960 Architecture, Modern 21st century 54081 Architecture History 21st century China 54081 Architecture 297640 China 271708 Rowe, Peter G. 297641 De Geus, Martijn 297642 Shiqiao, Li lcc 6 NA1545.6 General B43 2019 295329 295329 0 0 lcc 0 0 4 4 33 2020-03-12 GOBI 54.00 0 General NA1545.6 B43 2019 91000000063248 2020-09-30 00:00:00 1 64.00 2020-03-12 6
