This book is the essence of the illustrated version of the major television special "Centennial Classics of Chinese Architecture." The special selects 100 representative buildings from China over the past century, each with different ethnic backgrounds, spaces, regions, styles, forms, and materials. The content primarily focuses on the social background of their creation, design characteristics, construction processes, historical events, and their impacts and shortcomings. Judged by academic, artistic, and historical value, the special reveals the cultural and ideological connotations of the selected buildings from perspectives such as science, aesthetics, architecture, folklore, humanities, urban planning, landscape architecture, and the comparison of Eastern and Western cultures. This special will be broadcast by CCTV-10, CCTV-4, 100 local television stations across the country, Phoenix TV, and several overseas television stations.
This series of books selects dozens of representative buildings from the special and organizes them into five volumes of exquisite illustrated works, roughly categorized into public buildings, memorial buildings, commercial buildings, educational and cultural buildings, and administrative buildings.
