This book was published after the author's death. Liang was one of China's foremost architectural historians and was instrumental in establishing the first studies of Chinese architectural design for westerners. "Chinese Architecture: A Pictorial History" contains many detailed sketches, photographs, and early interpretations by Liang. It's a must-have for anyone interested in Asian architecture or historic photos of classic Chinese architecture.
