The firm made its name worldwide in 2014 with the much-acclaimed West Bund site for Shanghai's Long Museum, which has since been followed by a series of further museum and other art-related projects. Such cultural and community buildings of various scales are the main focus of Atelier Deshaus, who deliberately eschew the usual commercial construction tasks in China. Their strong buildings are developed from reading the sites with special attention paid to the preservation of Shanghai's industrial heritage after decades of a \u003ci\u003etabula rasa \u003c\/i\u003epolicy in the city's urban development. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e At the core of this book are Atelier Deshaus's twenty most important designs from 2001 to 2020. They are documented in rich detail through plans and images as well as concise explanatory texts by the architects. In an extensive conversation with Hubertus Adam, the firm's principals Liu Yichun and Chen Yifeng offer insights into their way of thinking, their understanding of Chinese tradition, their relation to art, and the challenges of working as a nongovernmental office in China. Additional essays place Atelier Deshaus in the context of contemporary international architecture and discuss their key projects with regards to constructive qualities and atmosphere. Lushly illustrated, \u003ci\u003eAtelier Deshaus: Architecture 2001-2020\u003c\/i\u003e offers deep insights into the contemporary Chinese architecture scene.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hubertus Adam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 303860223X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783038602231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Park Publishing (WI)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.18h x 8.27w x 0.79d","brand":"Hubertus Adam","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073564242175,"sku":"9783038602231","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fd7959e0-58ea-44f9-b5bf-db4bcb4732c6.jpg?v=1685448568","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/atelier-deshaus-2001-2020-hubertus-adam-9783038602231","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
