The English edition features art direction from Kenya Hara with essays by key Western and Eastern contributors, such as Hans Ulrich Obrist \u0026amp; Lorenza Baroncelli, and Wang Mingxian. The publishing of \u003ci\u003eShanshui City\u003c\/i\u003e coincides with MAD Architects' 10th founding anniversary. Ma's poetic, yet precise language details the development and practice of the \u003ci\u003eShanshui City\u003c\/i\u003e design philosophy, in which \"architects should delineate a new ideal for the city of the future, to gradually construct an urban environment that embodies both the convenience of the modern city and the ancient Eastern affinity for the natural world.\" Extending contact with the natural world, \"Shanshui\" is an idealized Chinese worldview to seek and integrate spiritual refuge in nature among the everyday life of humanity. \u003ci\u003eShanshui City\u003c\/i\u003e is not simply an eco-city, or a garden-city, nor does it imply modeling the city's architecture on natural forms such as mountains; rather, it represents humanity's affinity for the natural world and our quest for inner fulfillment, as expressed in philosophies of the East.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 244\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 12.3 x 7.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 25, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52490752950565,"sku":"9783037784570","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/5104\/0293\/files\/d2U3UUZlOGY1N1hvRnkzL0V6Vlljdz09_6858c7de-15e1-42ef-bd1f-f0e89d861642.webp?v=1780082837","url":"https:\/\/world-safari-shops.myshopify.com\/products\/shanshui-city-hardcover","provider":"World Safari Shops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
