The temporality of building: European and Chinese perspectives on architecture and heritage by Gao, Yun, Temple, Nicholas, Xiao, Jing

“…Through these lenses, buildings, interiors and their exterior spaces (churches/cathedrals, temples, palaces, gardens and courtyard houses) are explored to demonstrate how building time involves particular situations/settings and their correlating relationships to past traditions. In the final chapter we consider notions of time in the context of contemporary buildings in Europe and China, drawing on the earlier historical investigations and addressing globalising influences. …”
