Six of Chinas greatest architectural historians have joined with a leading Western scholar to write this book, the first in-depth, collaborative history of Chinese architecture in more than fifty years.\nDrawing on recent discoveries and current scholarly work inside China, this handsome volume recounts the story of Chinas architectural achievements, the forms they took, and the historical, political, cultural, and social factors that shaped them. Each chapter includes sections on cities, palatial architecture, religious architecture, tombs, and gardens as well as discussions of bridges, walls, fortifications, academies, and architectural writings.\nAmply enhanced with color plates and line drawings-many of which are reproduced here for the first time-explanatory maps and charts, and an index that includes Chinese terms, the book will be an invaluable and accessible resource for both scholars of China and visitors to China alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945921278005,"sku":"ByrdShop_0300095597","price":153.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780300095593_99336e78-f4e9-449d-8ed0-46efc233f763.jpg?v=1778706603","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/chinese-architecture-9780300095593","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
