It is able to convey the dimensions and character of a place, as well as the emotions associated with it. An architectural publication would be unthinkable without such images.

This issue of DIVISARE BOOKS is part of series investigating the contemporary realm of Chinese architecture and the multiple ways it is reinventing a recognizable cultural common ground.
