The international debate on the modification of Chinese ruralities opens new theoretical and practical dimensions for architectural design. China's rural lands, collectively owned by the peasantry, are under pressure. A dramatic socio-economic transition, an imponent political agenda, a land-use speculation process, an awakening of cultural values, and several other forces are reframing the conceptual and operative framework of the countryside's transformation. Drawing on a fieldwork experience conducted in the Fujian Province, the book explores the Chinese countryside's transient condition and its future implications.
