Throughout recent decades, China has emerged as a leader in
economic and capitalist reform. In a rapid response to these
changes, Chinese culture has been exposed to influences of Western
lifestyle. In this exposure, the exchange of cultural perspectives
leads to a surge in modern design within China. The question
emerges: what is Chinese? Methodologies and practices must be
understood to allow an architectural response that is both
imaginary and sensitive. This book investigates modern China in its
relationship to aesthetic, culture, politics, and architecture.
Chinese lifestyle and process are discussed to gain a Chinese
perspective, allowing approach and generation to be affective.
Implementation of technique is further pursued in the academic
institution, where students are required to execute projects
specific to Chinese methodologies and techniques. Through this
application, strategies for approaching design in China can
simultaneously be accurate and cross-cultural. The context that
drives design expands beyond a physical realm and intersects issues
of time, space, and perspective. These design strategies result in
considerate, culturally charged projects.
