Chinese Spatial Strategies presents a study of social spaces of the capital of Ming Qing China (1420-1911). Focusing on early Ming and early and middle Qing; it explores architectural; urban and geographical space of Beijing; in relation to issues of history; geopolitics; urban social structure; imperial rule and authority; symbolism; and aesthetic and existential experience. At once historical and theoretical; the work argues that there is a Chinese approach to spatial disposition which is strategic and holistic.

The faces are amusing.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Basic; simple to make animations.By DonB!When making simple origami items for kids; I always like items that have some animation to them. This book meets that need very well.95% of the faces; or animations; taught in this book can be folded in less than 5 minutes; and thats good. Yet each one encompasses different forms of movement and expression; and THATS GOOD also.Everyone that I have made one of these figures for walks away still playing with it and enjoying the creativity of the souvenir.Plus; this book is so inexpensive; you just cant go wrong with it (unless youre looking for an 8-legged underwater sea creature that devours the entire submarine and burps when its done. I didnt find that one in this book).Buy it; use and enjoy it. I do.
