- Critical analysis of 60 projects from 60 architects in China - Highly
illustrated throughout with rich technical details Architectural
exhibition is an important aspect in the study and transmission of
architectural culture. The academic thoughts and design styles that
influence the trends of global architecture are all established through
one or a series of important architectural exhibitions. This book is
produced based on the GSD (Harvard Graduate School of Design) autumn
exhibition: 'Towards a Critical Pragmatism: Contemporary Chinese
Architecture'. It reveals a unique perspective of contemporary Chinese
architecture by showcasing 60 works from 60 contemporary architects
within five thematic categories: cultural, residential, regeneration,
rural, and digital. The selected architects attempt to maintain, from
the earliest moments of the design process to its finished outcome, a
certain level of critical thinking and quality. It is a record of the
continuous evolution and growth of contemporary Chinese architecture and
hopes to open up a new avenue from which to encourage further
conversation regarding both the present and future state of China's
architecture culture.
