[edit] HANOI
This text traces the history of the fabric of Hanoi from its origins 1000 years ago. It examines how the shape of the city reflects changing political, cultural and economic conditions over a millennium of intermittent warfare and waves of cultural change and migration.
As Vietnam has opened up to the West since the late 1980s, awareness of the architectural richness of the national capital, Hanoi, has grown. - Its unique combination of Chinese-influenced shophouses, French boulevards, Soviet housing and recent western-style commercial developments is in many ways unique. - Hanoi: Biography of a City is the first book to trace the history of the fabric of the city since its origins a thousand years ago. - It examines how the shape of the city reflects changing political, cultural and economic conditions over a millennium of intermittent warfare and waves of cultural change and migration. - Drawing on his experience as heritage advisor, William Logan looks at the challenges facing those who seek to preserve the best features of Hanoi's architecture and streetscapes, while improving the living conditions of its residents. - Illustrations - 140 b&w photographs of beautiful Hanoi buildings and streetscapes
