内容概要

Apart from being one of Asia's largest metropolises, Beijing is an ultimate visual challenge. The country's growing economy and construction boom has attracted the attention of the world's finest architects eager to create masterworks in this city. The new is rapidly replacing the old in the country's political, economic and cultural center. When Beijing won the bid in 2001 to host the 2008 Olympic Games, the city started a somewhat controversial transformation. 　　Olympic-driven developments - from sports and cultural infrastructure to business buildings and commercial facilities - have transformed a city once characterized by conservative Communist architecture. Now the emerging Chinese middle-class can live, work and play in Westernstyle residential buildings, offices and malls, such as SOHO Shangdu and can be seen in some of the city's trendiest venues, like Philippe Starck's LAN restaurant and Zhong Song's Song Music Bar + Kitchen. 　　An Index with contact informations of the designers and architects is enclosed.

From Publishers Weekly  In an era of coffee-table design books with multiple, long-winded introductions and breathless essays by architecture writers, it's refreshing to see this book's simple form-a one-paragraph intro, followed by images of the buildings-some realized, others still models. The descriptions of the 34 projects presented here are also brief, leaving the emphasis on the photography (though the text does come in five languages, including English). The mix of recent and future projects includes both the spectacular (the Shanghai World Financial Center, to open in 2007, which aims to be the world's tallest building) to the more low-key (a club called ARK, in the historic Xintiandi district). Most of the projects tend toward bigger-is-better: from the Top of City Lights apartment complex to the mixed-use Hong Kong New World Center, they are grand, tall, modern, extravagant, or all of the above. While the prose isn't exactly sparkling ("The original brickwork was preserved to obtain an interior that evokes a certain degree of nostalgia"), this 101/4" x 123/4" book does a capable, unpretentious job of capturing the dynamism and boldness of present-day architecture in Shanghai, a key global city still largely underdocumented by the West.
