{"product_id":"9783869223483","title":"China: Architectural Guide","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn an era of accelerating population growth, mass urbanisation, and increasing pressure on the natural environment, the megacities of China's eastern seaboard have become a focal point of architectural and urban-design attention. The “reform and opening-up era” has touched China's major cities in different ways, affecting the existing fabric of dynastic capitals, trade hubs, and former European colonies and concessions; this in turn has provided the setting for a range of complex reactions by contemporary architects. The Architectural Guide China provides city-by-city coverage including historic maps and background information on urban form. Building on the authors' years of experience leading architectural study tours, this book is the first comprehensive English-language survey of recent Chinese architecture presented in the form of a travel guide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DOM Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47038376640752,"sku":"9783869223483","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783869223483_p0.jpg?v=1763701182","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783869223483","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
