Major London Architecture Exhibition and Book on Modernism in China

Between 3rd July and 6th September 08, the RIBA in London will be hosting a highly topical exhibition on ‘Modernism in China’, highlighting China’s previous influential period of modernity in the early 20th century and the little known architecture of the period. The exhibition is co-curated by Edward Denison and Guang Yu Ren, and coincides with the publication of their book of the same title with Wiley. The exhibition is produced by the RIBA in collaboration with the World Monuments Fund Britain and the British Consulate-General, Shanghai.
