Description

undefinedReview ------ "Chinese Houses examines traditional dwellings from a Ming dynasty manor to Mao's boyhood home." —Elle Decor blog "When a house is used as a museum or tourist site, it loses its vitality, and with no chance to grow and develop, it becomes fossilized. Judging by the eagerness of officials at every level of the government to 'regenerate' the cities...this could be the only way to preserve the old dwellings of China. This book, illustrated with many beautiful photographs and drawings, could serve as the best guide for preserving China's heritage." —Orientations magazine "This scholarly, detailed work, beautifully illustrated with historic black-and-white photos, contemporary color photos, floor plans, and elevations, is recommended for large collections." —Library Journal "Packed with color photos of both interior and exterior dΘcor, Chinese Houses also presents an in-depth survey of the rituals, culture, ornamentation influences, and floor plans of homes across China, from urban to rural dwellings. If it's a strong in-depth history of Chinese home architecture which is desired, look no further than the gorgeous Chinese Houses: it's much more than the coffee table picturebook it appears a first glance." —Midwest Book Review "Ronald G. Knapp…based this exhaustive book on 40 years of research in the Chinese countryside." —Icon World Monuments Read more ( javascript:void(0) ) From the Inside Flap -------------------- Read more ( javascript:void(0) ) See all Editorial Reviews ( /dp/product-description/0804835373/ref=dp_proddesc_0?ie=UTF8&n=283155&s=books&isInIframe=0 )
