The Visual Dictionary of Chinese Architecture

Details of vernacular Chinese architecture have long fascinated the West. This book, illustrated with the superb line drawings of Dr Qinghua Guo, contains the English description and explanation of these often complex and wonderful details. Accompanying the descriptions is the correct Chinese calligraphic transcript. Dr Guo spent six years assembling this masterful work, and as a result has created a 'must' for anyone with an interest in all things Chinese. The book describes Chinese architecture and building processes, explains why Chinese buildings look the way they do, and features the directions given in twelfth century building rules book known as the Yingzao Faschi.
