Over the past decade, China's new generation of female architects have
proven themselves to be talented, confident, innovative, and successful
on the world stage. Engaging with traditions and international trends,
as well as posing entirely new architectural ideas, their projects
reveal China to be a place full of creative possibility.
This book explores the work of twenty leading female architects living
and working in China today. Together they represent a mix of creative
talents who are having a significant influence on the national scene.
Featuring detailed profiles of each architect, this book showcases over
fifty of their key projects across China, from small- to large-scale,
residential to commercial, and urban to rural developments, many never
before published. With a foreword by business magnate Zhang Xin, one of
China's most celebrated female entrepreneurs, New Chinese Architecture
offers unique insights into how architects are adapting and responding
to the rapidly evolving social and political changes impacting life in
the most populous country on Earth.
