Book Description:
Building Projects in China is the first publication on the book
market to give a comprehensive overview of the planning activities
of foreign architects in China. This practical handbook outlines
legal framework conditions, introduces the Chinese building market,
and gives practical descriptions of the execution of projects on
site. To complete the picture, international planning firms share
their experience on projects of the most various sizes and types in
China. What makes projects in China so challenging is the tension
between the traditional, historical planning environment of an Asian
big city and a modernity that is in many ways already ahead of the
Western world.
Interest in the Chinese building and planning market has been
steadily growing for many years. Now, for the first time, a
repository of knowledge as exhaustively researched as this one is
finally available.
