Wuhan is considered the engineering centre of China. Its 10 million inhabitants enjoy impressive buildings in an area famous for the massive Three Gorges Dam development. Wuhan’s other ambitious projects include power plants, tunnels and bridges, playing an important role in projecting China’s ideas on its identity and power.

In contrast to European centres, Wuhan never differentiated between technical “functional buildings” and so-called “beautiful buildings”. In Wuhan engineers perceive their skills as enabling increased options to all kinds of buildings.

In contrast to European centres, Wuhan never differentiated between technical “functional buildings” and so-called “beautiful buildings”. In Wuhan engineers perceive their skills as enabling increased options to all kinds of buildings. This volume includes plans and photographs of major projects and presents 24 of China’s most outstanding engineering constructions. Wuhan’s new Engineering Design Biennale focuses on construction as a challenging and all-encompassing culture that must comply with the aims of China’s Green Agenda.
