Features: With the shift in the economy towards quality growth, the vast and resource-rich country offers unlimited prospects and potential for foreign collaborators, bringing business opportunities and areas of activity. The transfer of knowledge and technology is in high demand, particularly for ecological and energy-efficient planning and construction of urban spaces, high-quality public spaces, residential areas, and landscape architecture. The demand from Europe exceeds that of the United States, as Chinese travelers, after visiting several countries, tend to prefer Europe's romantic ancient architecture and timeless historical styles. China itself has already mastered high technology, and its space technology has proven to possess sufficient resources, potential, ambition, and capability to solve its own problems. Especially now, with China focusing on urbanization issues, it is not a country that prioritizes rapid development without addressing urban challenges. The projects listed in this book demonstrate that unique European urban designs are rational and steady, appearing to align with Confucian ideals but still subject to differing opinions. However, gmp's design for Luchao Port is a "drop of water," proving that any large geometric building can be dignified if it expresses formal symbolism. China also has a form of modernism. This book attempts to comprehensively illustrate the works of German architects in China, this book—using illustrations to depict how they benefit themselves while also contributing to the "Chinese experience" as part of their report.
