249 p. : ill. ; portraits ; 24 cm. Tong Jun was an outstanding architect and architectural educator in contemporary China. He was widely considered an all-round talent in theory, creation, writing, and painting in Chinese architecture. He had a deep foundation in ancient Chinese literature and studied Chinese classical poetry since childhood. While studying at the University of Pennsylvania, he won many awards in the national architectural student design competition. He has left behind many works and manuscripts on landscape, architecture, architectural history, and the history of sculpture and painting that have enlightened and educated many generations. However, there are few records about him. This book recollects the last 20 years of his life and introduces the reader to the very real and vivid practitioner that was Tong Jun.
