Being Chinese in Architecture – Recent Works of Rocco Design 建築中的「中國身份」─ 嚴迅奇建築作
about this book
關於這本書
Introduction by Professor Essy Baniassad
Interview by Laurent Gutierrez & Valerie Portefaix
What does “Chinese” mean in contemporary architecture?
What does it mean being a Chinese in the making of architecture?
Will ‘Chinese-ness’ come about by the architect being Chinese, or by the context being Chinese, or both, or neither?
– Rocco Yim
Posing philosophical questions at the outset, the publication Being Chinese in Architecture features Rocco Design’s seven different projects in Greater China, ranging from single house to residential complex, hotel, cultural building to urban planning – Distorted Courtyard House by the Great Wall, Bamboo Pavilion at Berlin/Hong Kong, Giu-gen-tong Villa in Shanghai, Boao Canal Village, Hotel project in Chengdu, Beijing Central Business District, and the new winning project Museum of Guangdong.
