Maison de la Chine

Maison de la Chine documents the building and its design process in rich detail through sketches, drawings, plans, and photographs. Architectural historian and curator Martino Stierli places the Maison de la Chine in the context of the evolution of contemporary Chinese architecture. Founding partner Yung Ho Chang and project architect Yishi Cheng, both of Atelier FCJZ, discuss conceptual and technical aspects of the design. The volume is completed by American critic Ariel Genadt, whose essay relates the building to the site’s extraordinary history and the culture within which it was created.
