Critical Practice in State-owned Design Institutes in Post-Mao China

Více o knize

The book explores the role of state-owned design institutes, particularly CAG, in China's construction boom since the late 1970s. It examines the characteristics of design practices in the post-Mao era and delves into the socio-political mechanisms influencing these practices. By advocating for a collectivist perspective, the author aims to provide a deeper understanding of state-owned institutes and encourages broader discussions on architecture's collectivist implications beyond China.
