Architecture China: Architecture and Media

Description

Focusing on the leading architectural designs with regional characteristics, Architecture China is a journal whose mission is to disseminate the creative works of contemporary Chinese architecture and deepen an appreciation of Chinese architectural traditions and trends. This issue, Architecture and Media will focus on the role that mass media and social media have played in contemporary Chinese architecture and how architects actively engage media as an architectural strategy. With case studies on the Aranya Resort and the TV show Dream Home, the issue develops a reading of these projects from a social perspective and discusses how architecture could better act as an agent of change. The issue also includes two recent projects.
