OPEN Architecture was founded in  New  York  in  2003  by  Li  Hu  and  Huang  Wenjing, while their Beijing office opened in 2008.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFrom  a  contemporary  art  gallery  buried  beneath  a sand dune to a sculptural open-air theatre in a remote mountain   valley   near   the   Great   Wall,   co-founders Li  Hu  and  Huang  Wenjing  re-evaluate  conventional Western assumptions about culture and design as they base  each  pioneering  project  on  the  needs  and  plea-sures of humanity within the context of diverse terrains and climates. In doing so, they not only consider how cultural architecture looks, but how it works. Projects  are  presented  with  commentary  and  contextual  information  as  well  as  new  analyses  and  archival material,  including  outstanding  color  photography, plans and drawings, and exploratory sketches. This  book  provides  a  fresh  perspective  on  contemporary  cultural  architecture  and  place  making,  hig-lighting  the  architects’  sources  of  inspiration,  their challenges,  and  their  construction  methods,  showing how   each   impactful   project   responds   to   China’s distinctive context.","brand":"Rizzoli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43383602807039,"sku":"9788891831958","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9788891831958_s600x595.jpg?v=1782316189","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9788891831958","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
