Résumé:
This book comprises a comprehensive and authoritative study of Chinese architecture from Neolithic times through the late nineteenth century. Six of China's leading architectural historians have joined with a Western scholar to write this book, the first in-depth, collaborative history of Chinese architecture in more than fifty years. Drawing on recent discoveries and current scholarly work inside China, this volume recounts the story of China's architectural achievements, the forms they took, and the historical, political, cultural, and social factors that shaped them. Each chapter includes sections on cities, palatial architecture, religious architecture, tombs, and gardens as well as discussions of bridges, walls, fortifications, academies, and architectural writings. The book is enhanced with color plates and line drawings, explanatory maps and charts, and an index that includes Chinese terms.

Ce livre présente à la fois au grand public et aux connaisseurs les plus importantes œuvres architecturales de la Chine, de l'ère néolithique jusqu'au début du XXe siècle, et les trésors de son incomparable culture. Il est né de la collaboration de savants et d'éditeurs chinois et occidentaux qui commentent et analysent pour nous cités, maisons, tombes, jardins, ponts, temples et palais, en rattachant toujours leur évolution aux événements historiques, politiques et culturels qui les ont modelés.
