This book provides a detailed historical and design analysis of the development of parks and modern landscape architecture in late 20th century China. It questions whether the fusion of international influences with the local Chinese design vocabulary in late 20th century China has created a distinctive and novel approach to the design of public parks.

Hybrid Modernity proposes a new theory for examining the design of public parks built in post-Mao China since the reforms and sets the various processes for Chinas late 20th century socio-cultural context. Drawing on modernization theory, research on Chinas modernity, local and global cultural trends, it illustrates through a range of case studies ways hybrid modernity defines a new design genre and language for the spatial forms of parks that emerged in Chinas secondary cities. Featured case studies include the Living Water Park in Chengdu, Sichuan province, Zhongshan Shipyard Park in Guangdong Province, Jinji Lake Landscape Master Plan in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, and the West Lake Southern Scenic Area Master Plan in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. This book argues that these forms represent a new stage in Chinas history of landscape architecture. The work reveals that as a new profession, landscape architecture has greatly contributed to Chinas massive urban experiment.

This book is an ideal read for students enrolled in landscape architecture, architecture, fine arts and urban planning programs who are engaged in learning the arts and international design education.

Recenzijos

"Mary Padua has authoritatively chronicled the growth of the landscape architecture profession in China over several decades. This volume frames recent landscapes within a framework of China's rich legacy of gardens and cultural landscapes. Eminently, it collects her valuable insights on seminal projects and persons who have shaped landscape investigations of China's rich history, culture, and ecology within the context of globalization, urbanization, and international design. Ron Henderson, Director of the Landscape Architecture and Urbanism Program at Illinois Institute of Technology

"A plethora of scholarship on Chinas urban architecture and built environment has charted the heat of the nations urban construction since Dengs reforms opened it to the world. Dr. Mary Padua's book supplements this work with her in-depth investigation of public parks in Chinas late 20th century. The arts and garden tradition since its ancient beginnings, Zhongshan lexicon for the modern park and nation-building in the Republic period, places for workers in Mao's era and international influences all pave the way to the public park in post-Mao China an epochal quest for modern urban life. Rather than examining Chinas major cities like Beijing and Shanghai, the author keenly focuses on cases in the secondary cities, places of innovation and potential for Chinas hopes in the years ahead." Dr. Charlie Xue, author of Building a Revolution: Chinese architecture since 1980, A history of design institutes in China: from Mao to market and Grand theater urbanism Chinese cities in the 21st century.

"Hybrid Modernity imparts valuable insights on the creation of urban public parks in late 20th Century China and envisions new directions emerging in the 21st Century. Offering a new theoretical framework, Paduas perceptive analyses confirm the innovative contributions of major park development projects and their impact on shaping public urban spaces in Chinas rapidly developing cities." Linda Corkery, Professor of Landscape Architecture, UNSW Sydney, Australia
