Since the mid-1990s, when China allowed its architects to practice independently from government-run design institutes, a new kind of architecture has emerged, distinguished by unique regional characteristics. China Dialogues is a rigorously selected collection of insightful interviews that the book's author, Vladimir Belogolovsky, has conducted with 21 leading Chinese architects during his extensive travels in China. At a time when so many buildings being built around the world are no longer rooted in their place and culture, the leading Chinese architects succeeded collectively in producing a unique architectural body of work that could not be confused with any other regional school. The interviews are accompanied by over 120 photographs and drawings of beautifully executed projects built throughout China since the early 2000s. China Dialogues opens up the thinking process of the country's top architects, as they share their ideas, insights, intentions, and visions in unusually revealing and candid ways.
