Represents detailed project examples of classical Chinese
architecture translated into the 21st century. Text in English and
Chinese. In order to have a great place, one must create
architecture that embodies the best traditions of design through
proportion, material selection, and architecture style. Classical
details combined with clean lines and artful form brings the art in
architecture, merging tradition with contemporary design concepts.
Proportion, scale, and composition are key concepts in
architectural design. Through massing studies and mathematical
calculations, including the Golden Ratio, the architecture and
decorative details seen in this highly illustrated book seamlessly
join discipline and functionality with artistry. Rigorous studies
and detailed, full-colour conceptual sketches and rich photographic
detail bring each project to life, capturing the overall essence of
the design. In the pages of this impressive volume, the second in a
superb series, you will see project examples of classical Chinese
architecture translated into the 21st century. Projects range from
residential spaces to palace gates and entries; from boutique
resorts and hotels to business and convention centres; from public
to commercial enterprises. The arrival of digital age in
architecture not long ago gave the architects and designers the
tools to push the envelope in designs much further every time -
whether it's traditional, modern, or contemporary. The harmony of
proportion and composition, axial symmetry, and unique details
illustrated in many of the featured projects achieve a virtue of
scale, historic durability, and integrated artistry. Text in
