China is booming – not only in the shape of a rapidly growing economy, but also in the decorative and fine arts, in interior design and in architecture. This book showcases 36 of the most exciting interiors that have been born of this second cultural revolution. Some of the structures have taken the traditional Chinese vernacular and reinvigorated it, while others show a distinctlyWestern influence. But whatever the emphasis of their design principles, all the buildings and interiors have a distinctive air of visual excitement and vibrancy, and all are utterly contemporary.

Dan Xiao Wang is a Chinese journalist and researcher based in London. Michael Freeman's books include the bestselling In the Oriental Style, The New Oriental Style and Sudan all published by Thames & Hudson.

Introduction • 1. Continuity – examines projects in which contemporary designers and architects have adapted traditional Chinese forms to the modern environments • 2. Colour – concentrates especially on the use of traditional colour schemes in new materials • 3. Conversion – older factories and apartment blocks of the Communist era refurbished in visually exciting ways • 4. Crossover – looks at projects that express the modern Chinesse willingness to embrace influences of other cultures
