FastBook Publishing Deutsche Architektur in China

Around 50 of the most renowned German architectural firms are working on construction projects in China. They are increasingly receiving million-dollar contracts from the rising industrial nation, whose urbanization is rapidly increasing. Within the next two decades, hundreds of cities will transform into gigantic metropolises here - a tremendous challenge for spatial and urban planners. German architects Albert Speer Junior and Meinhard von Gerkan have already planned and realized various Chinese construction projects, ranging from schools, churches, and museums to exhibition and government buildings, as well as entirely new districts and the development planning of entire regions. This book provides an overview of the German architects and their project locations.
