China modern - Sharon Leece

Twenty-first century China is a country on the move, as the nation's designers draw on classical Chinese accents and blend these with modern, dynamic ideas. This book is divided into types of Chinese style, from renovations of the Qing dynasty siheyuan (court houses) and 1930s longtangs (lane houses) of Shanghai to modernist villas by the Great Wall of China and Bauhaus-inspired stone buildings. Thirty-six of the most innovative homes and interiors in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong are explored, with interior designs that are sensational, cutting-edge, and contemporary.
