Summary:

Berlin-based writer Dubrau has selected 25 buildings for presentation, each with about eight to ten pages containing full-page or double-page photos, plans, and a page of text describing particularities of context, construction, challenges, and unique features. His essay on new trends in Chinese architecture, and another essay on the subject (by Brigitta Hahn-Melchor) describe some of the economic, social, cultural, and environmental forces that are shaping what has been getting built in China, much that is extraordinarily innovative and, also, extraordinarily controversial from both Chinese and international points of view.
