Inspired by the perception of Jingdezhen's specific regional culture (porcelain) and the survival wisdom of the locals, the museum is a symbol of the past and future. The contemporary architecture magnificently resonates the ages: the building form is reminiscent of ancient traditional brick kilns, and its landscape -- with mirror pools, bamboo groves, kiln ruins, and courtyards -- recreates an impression of Jingdezhen's vibrant porcelain past. As an \"Architecture of Nature,\" that evokes both contemporaneity and ancient vibes, the museum subverts typical perceptions of modern-day museums. Colored photos, drawings, essays, and interviews provide detailed insights on the conception of the museum -- from design concept to environmental strategies, to construction techniques and construction materials -- as well as the architect's personal perspectives on the overall concept and intention of the museum. The pages also feature commentaries on the museum by well-known architects, including Fan Di'an, Kenneth Frampton, Steven Holl, Arata Isozaki, Rem Koolhaas, Thomas Krens, Mohsen Mostafavi, Wang Mingxian.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zhu Pei\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Images Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.50h x 10.60w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781864709575","brand":"Images Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46858592387209,"sku":"9781864709575","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_1537519a-8e1b-45b5-aa59-e80fcf2679d3.jpg?v=1780980940","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/jingdezhen-imperial-kiln-museum-9781864709575","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
