About Author
Table of Contents
For the students, enthusiasts and young designers of architecture, this collection of the thoughts of young designers is a bright touch against the dull background full of masters and classical cases. Even though these young designers are not heavy-weight masters with decades of experience, they are undoubtedly the most promising yound designers who have received education at top universities and are now working at top studios. To learn from masters is to experience the ultimate charm of buildings. And to learn from this book is to understand the amazing style of young front-runners. Architecture requires not only practical test, but also collision of ideas. This book aims to fill in this blank.
