The decoration and design of doors and windows was a fixture in classical Chinese architecture. Doors and windows were symbolic curtains separating heaven and earth in traditional Chinese architecture. Opening these curtains created an all-important harmonious link between heaven and earth. The apex of classical Chinese architecture was in the Qin (221-206 B.C.) and Han periods (206 B.C.-220 A.D.), the Tang (618-906 A.D.) and Song periods (960-1127 A.D.) as well as the Ming (1368-1644 A.D.) and Qing periods (1644-1911 A.D.). With its precisely printed illustrations and concise texts in English and Chinese, this large format, extremely elegantly finished book gives the reader an opportunity to study the major creations of these periods.

Though the documentation on traditional Chinese building structure and form is extensive, the study on the decorative components is not as abundant. The deficiency is recognized particularly in timber components due to their high vulnerability to weather and fast deterioration under natural condition. Such situation is also observed in the design of traditional Chinese timber lattices in the partition doors and windows, which are regarded as unique artistic components in the traditional Chinese architecture. The objectives of the study are set to re-discover on the design, expression and associated cultural meanings of the traditional Chinese lattices in Hong Kong and its identity in the Lingnan context. Apart from being an artistic expression with high aesthetic value, the design of the lattice patterns and features are also recognized as symbolic means for the manifestation of collective and individual aspirations and beliefs of the people. They carry the hope for fortune, peace and longevity; and the influence of traditional Chinese thinking from Confucian and Taoist can also be traced. In the traditional Lingnan architecture, Hong Kong is closely related to its context, Guangzhou style. However variations in character of the local lattice design can still be found and the identity of Hong Kong is also to be sought. A field survey on the lattice design in the graded historic Chinese architecture in Hong Kong was carried out. As there is little research reference and the sampling is limited, the objective is set to establish a procedure for the collection of data for comparative analysis. By recording the results, finding out the characters and symbolic meanings, the associated intangible cultural significance can be established. The understanding of such intangible substances will be the essence for future conservation and the conserving of authenticity will rest on the inheritance of the intangible rather than the tangible form and material.

Dear Reader: China Book 2, the companion to China Book 1 (featuring Suzhou, China) is a short journey from 2006-8 showcasing my continued interest in Chinese architecture. The book includes various areas in Beijing, in He Bei Province; Guilin and Yangshuo in Guangxi Province; and Tongli, Tai Hu Lake and Wuxi in Jiangsu Province. This coffee table series of books was born out of my love for photography and interest in architecture to capture this pictorial journey of doors, windows, temples, and gateways of fascinating and colorful cities. Represented here are architectural flavors of the past to those of modern China: classical gardens; famous pagodas; Buddha temples; Beijing's glorious Summer Palace; the mysterious Forbidden City; historical Tian'namen Square; the UNESCO ancient wonder of the world The Great Wall; a mini lost Shangri-la; the magical mountains of Guilin and Yangshuo; the scenic spots of Taihu Lake; and the almost unheard of Sex Museum in Tongli. China Book 3 will follow in 2009 and will showcase the cities and surrounding areas of Shanghai, Tibet, Xi'an, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The continuing series will include the United Kingdom, Europe, Asia, SE Asia, The Middle East, Oceana, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. Enjoy the journey and Bon voyage!

A superbly illustrated book that examines the emergence of modern Chinese interior design and architecture, from the country's enthusiastic embrace of Western technologies and advancements in the wake of the "Cultural Revolution," to today's quiet renaissance of traditional values. It is not a simple return to ancient times and themes, but a successful and mature approach to blending the old with the new. Today's developments in Chinese interior design are a direct result of the gradual awakening of national consciousness and a new appreciation of the idea that "the more national a culture is, the more internationally cherished it becomes." The book is divided into five chapters all devoted to rethinking specific elements of Chinese design tradition including philosophy, ideas, techniques, decorations and components. It covers ceilings, furniture, courtyards, spatial definition, ventilation techniques, lighting and much more.

Dear Reader: China Book 1 is a short journey in 2006-7 through the town of Suzhou, Jiangsu, China, one of China's five most beautiful cities. While living and working in China as an art teacher in an international school, I used my time off and my love for photography to create a pictorial journey that I am proud to share with all of you. Doors, Windows, Temples, and Gateways of China captures glimpses of this fascinating and colorful city. It begins with the Suzhou city center and carries through to the old canal districts, Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP), and various temples and pagodas. Included are seven of Suzhou's famous classical gardens, which date back several hundred years and continue to serve the people as lovely peaceful retreats. Represented here are architectural flavors, including dynasties of the past to those of modern China. There are no photo captions or in-depth writings; however, you will find a few brief narratives in the author's introduction which is provided in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, explaining some of the architecture in my photographs. Whether you have been to China or not, I hope you will appreciate this collection of images and two other books to follow in 2009, which will include Beijing, Shanghai, and Tibet, along with smaller surrounding areas of China. The continuing series will include the United Kingdom, Europe, SE Asia, the Middle East, Oceana, and North America. Enjoy the journey and bon voyage! Josephine F. Quintana

A groundbreaking book by one of the world's leading historians of Chinese architecture Translated by Alexandra Harrer. Fu Xinian is considered by many to be the world's leading historian of Chinese architecture. He is an expert on every type of Chinese architecture from every period through the nineteenth century, and his work is at the cutting edge of the field. Traditional Chinese Architecture gathers together, for the first time in English, twelve seminal essays by Fu Xinian. This wide-ranging book pays special attention to the technical aspects of the building tradition since the first millennium BC, and Fu Xinian's signature drawings abundantly illustrate its nuances. The essays delve into the modular basis for individual structures, complexes, and cities; lateral and longitudinal building frames; the unity of sculpture and building to create viewing angles; the influence of Chinese construction on Japanese architecture; and the reliability of images to inform us about architecture. Organized chronologically, the book also examines such topics as the representation of architecture on vessels in the Warring States period, early Buddhist architecture, and the evolution of imperial architecture from the Tang to Ming dynasty. A biography of Fu Xinian and a detailed Chinese-English glossary are included. Bringing together some of the most groundbreaking scholarship in Chinese architectural history, Traditional Chinese Architecture showcases an uncontested master of the discipline.
