A History of Design Institutes in China examines the intricate
relationship between design institutes, the state, and, in later
periods, the market economy through a carefully situated discussion
of significant theoretical and historical issues including
socialist utopia, collective and individual design, structural
transformation, and architectural exportation, amongst others. It
shows how, over the past six decades, China's design institutes
have served the state's strategy for socialist construction and
urbanisation to create socioeconomic and cultural value. Through
first-hand research, authors Xue and Ding reveal how the tensions
between pragmatism, creativity, collaboration, and resistance have
played a crucial role in defining architectural production.
Appealing to academics, researchers, and graduate students, this
book provides a much-needed contribution to the discourse on
architectural history, building practices, and policymaking in
contemporary China.
