Wuhan’s other ambitious projects include power plants, tunnels and bridges, playing an important role in projecting China’s ideas on its identity and power.
description
In contrast to European centres, Wuhan never differentiated between technical functional buildings and so-called beautiful buildings. In Wuhan engineers perceive their skills as enabling increased options to all kinds of buildings. This volume includes plans and photographs of major projects and presents 24 of China’s most outstanding engineering constructions. Wuhan’s new Engineering Design Biennale focuses on construction as a challenging and all-encompassing culture that must comply with the aims of China’s Green Agenda.
