First the cover: Realizing the photo of a distant Eiffel Tower is not from Paris, but China does not prepare for the surprise and amusement awaiting while leafing through photographs of The Amsterdam Railroad Station, A massive French Chateau, a Dutch residential street, an English village all done in perfect imitation and ALL in China.Then the best part: Blanca Bosker's careful delineation of the tradition, taken from scroll painting of honest copying, imitation, adaptation, and perhaps, a bit of fraud that sometimes occurs. She extrapolates from this to an important discussion of the China of today. It's prosperity, enormous social change and upheaval, all through the lens of domestic architecture. Quite an achievement !!
Great information - but she LOVES to use more language than is required to make her point. Reads like she is trying to impress other authors...
The Chinese building complete, detailed replicas of Western cities is a fascinating topic. No mere theme parks, these are real communities meant to be full-time homes to hundreds of people. Complete replicas of cities from Holland, Italy, France, even Southern California are being built as homes for upper-middle class Chinese who want a unique living experience without leaving home.The story behind the creation and execution of these cities and the “duplitecture†behind them is undoubtedly a fascinating story. Unfortunately, this book isn’t it. If you look at all aspects of the story - the who, what, where, how and why, this book spends almost all of its text on the “whyâ€, at the expense of covering all the other topics. Let’s meet the people who plan and build these cities. The people who live in them. See what their lives are like. But we get very little of this.Instead, we have a book full of theories and history about what motivates the Chinese to build these cities. While that’s part of the picture, and is worth a few pages or maybe a chapter, it’s not the whole story. Worse, the book is written in turgid, academic prose. Quote: “...It will be demonstrated that while the forms in these simulascrascapes may be foreign, the desired functions are indigenous and driven by autochthonous demands, both functional and symbolic.†(Teacher! Look! I used all my vocab words!). This makes the book’s obsession with theory and historical topics all the more difficult to slog through.The book is illustrated with many photographs, but even these are disappointing. Most are excerpts from sales brochures, or timid snapshots from a distance. Few of them take you inside these places and give you sense of what these cities are like.I seriously hope a real journalist who knows how to write an engaging story writes a book on this subject. I’m eager to read it.
this is not something about how stupid of the things they have done。this is about why they did it and what would influence thier life in the future.
Here's a book about a phenomenon I had no idea existed -- apparently, it's a trend in China to build large housing tracts that mimic other parts of the world, such as Tuscany and Paris and Manhattan. These aren't Disneylands, they are entire cities, or at least villages, that look like neighborhoods in Provence or Venice. On the outside the houses look like palazzos or Tudor-style homes, and the surrounding areas look like streets and buildings from the target city. It's a middle class and upper class trend, and it has been going on for a number of years now.Bianca Bosker, the author of this fascinating book, has included numerous photos from real estate brochures and from her own camera. At first, the trend seems fun and kitschy, then on closer examination it starts to seem odd, like a quirk that is amusing at first, then seems out of control. Finally, it just seems like a different way of approaching things.And it may help explain what seems to be a serious difference of opinion about what constitutes stealing and what's normal use of ideas in the ether. In the light of recent news about Chinese military hacking of American businesses, it's interesting to read in Original Copies Chinese housing development designers doing research in Western cities rubbed locals the wrong way by taking numerous photos and measurements, etc, while never mentioning that they planned to copy their cities in China. You can see that on one hand it's hardly stealing to copy Venetian canals in China, but that it might be considered impolite to not mention that's what you intend to do. You do have to wonder how it would be regarded in China if a carbon copy of the Birds Nest Stadium popped up in Dallas.Lots to think about here, from a variety of angles -- architectural, philosophical, cultural, and political.
