Since the early 1990s von Gerkan, Marg and Partners (gmp) has been a major contributor to China's extraordinary architectural development, designing and realizing hundreds of projects throughout the country. These projects, collected in this book for the first time, display the incredible range and talent that has made the firm so successful.

With all eyes on China as a center for cutting edge architecture, this stunningly designed volume is certain to attract the attention of those interested in the latest architectural trends.
