Chinese art, architecture and design has a long history and comprises a blend of many elements: from an architectural tradition of wooden courtyard structures, it has evolved over the centuries to incorporate many different styles. Today's interiors with a Chinese theme - each photographed in locations as diverse as Shanghai and Anhui in China, New york and Los Angeles in the USA, in Hong Kong, Singapore and other Southeast Asian destinations - are the main focus of this book. They range from formal, traditional metropolitan apartments featuring priceless antique furniture, through to examples of Shanghai art deco from the 1930s and the unique Peranakan shophouse, to modern manifestos of China Style.Architecture.

A rift in the Earth : art, memory, and the fight for a Vietnam War memorial / by Reston, James,Jr.,1941-2023,author.(CARDINAL)131361;
Includes bibliographical references and index.It shall not come near to you -- Remember us -- Nothing to add, nothing to take away -- And the winner is -- Fight as hard as you can -- Blowback -- Ex nihilo -- How Chinese are you? -- A breach of faith -- Dedication -- A kind of ocean -- The troubled marriage of true minds -- Epilogue: the noise of your songs.A Rift in the Earth tells the remarkable story of the ferocious "art war" that raged between 1979 and 1984 over what kind of memorial should be built to honor the men and women who died in the Vietnam War. The story intertwines art, politics, historical memory, patriotism, racism, and a fascinating set of characters, from those who fought in the conflict and those who resisted it to politicians at the highest level. At its center are two enduring figures: Maya Lin, a young, Asian-American architecture student at Yale whose abstract design won the international competition but triggered a fierce backlash among powerful figures; and Frederick Hart, an innovative sculptor of humble origins on the cusp of stardom. James Reston, Jr., a veteran who lost a close friend in the war and has written incisively about the conflict's bitter aftermath, explores how the debate reignited passions around Vietnam long after the war's end and raised questions about how best to honor those who fought and sacrificed in an ill-advised war.
Subjects: Lin, Maya, 1959-; Hart, Frederick, 1943-1999.; Vietnam Veterans Memorial (Washington, D.C.); Vietnam War, 1961-1975;
