For architecture in China moving forward, author David Wang posits a theory, the New Virtualism, which links current trends in computational design with long-standing Chinese philosophical themes. The book also assesses twentieth-century Chinese architecture through the lenses of positivism, consciousness (phenomenology), and linguistics (structuralism and poststructuralism). Illustrated with over 70 black-and-white images, this book establishes philosophical baselines for assessing architectural developments in China, past, present and future. 606 $aArchitecture$xPhilosophy 606 $aArchitecture, Chinese 606 $aArchitecture$zChina 615 0$aArchitecture$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aArchitecture, Chinese. 615 0$aArchitecture 676 $a720.1 676 $a720.1 700 $aWang$b David$f1954-,$0865085 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155120903321 996 $aA philosophy of Chinese architecture$92274259 997 $aUNINA
