Original Copies - Architectural Minimacy in Contemporary China

Informationen zum Autor Bianca Bosker is a graduate of Princeton University. She lives in New York and is senior tech editor at the Huffington Post. Klappentext A 108-meter high Eiffel Tower rises above Champs Elysees Square in Hangzhou. An ersatz Queen's Guard patrols Shanghai's Thames Town. These are but two examples of China's most startling architectural movement: the construction of monumental themed communities that replicate towns and cities in the West. Original Copies presents the first definitive chronicle of this phenomenon in which entire towns appear to have been airlifted from their historic and geographic foundations in Europe and the Americas, and spot-welded to Chinese cities.
