Table of ContentsReviews'The architectural revolution in China in the past 30 years is daunting for any outsider. Through its study of a local architectural journal, Dr Ding unfolds a picture of how critiques and experiments have changed the profession and townscapes in China. Logically and lucidly written, the book grasps the representative trends and facts of the country during its drastic transformation.' Charlie Q.L. Xue, author of Building a Revolution: Chinese Architecture Since 1980 'Guanghui Ding's study provides us with a very useful introduction to modern architecture in China. Even more insightful is the particular focus on the highly influential journal Time + Architecture, exploring how critical attitudes may be expressed in a world of complex aesthetic, socio-economic and political conditions. Highly recommended.' Iain Borden, The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, UK 'With excerpts from Time+Architecture and several other periodicals, Guanghui Ding has made an insightful and engaging case for an alternative, critical and ultimately more interesting interpretation of an increasingly influential strand of contemporary Chinese architecture by new generations of architects operating beyond the realm of design institutes and commercial practices.'
