The Built Space: Architecture in East Asia, from the Neolithic to the Present Day

Beschreibung

A symbiosis developed over thousands of years: architecture and art in East Asia

The book on East Asian architecture! From imperial temple complexes and medieval teahouses to contemporary cityscapes – the fascinating architecture of East Asia reveals multifaceted worldviews and craftsmanship with deep cultural roots. This publication offers a fresh perspective on the unique symbiosis of architecture and art in East Asia.

To what extent are architecture and art in East Asia inseparable, to be thought of as a single entity? Artefacts spanning several millennia and diverse genres – from bronze and ceramics to calligraphy and light installation – reveal how art and architecture have shaped one another in China, Japan, and Korea. This volume shows that architectural history does not follow a linear, self-contained trajectory; rather, it should be conceived as a range of interdisciplinary perspectives.
