About this selection

Two campus studies, a library, a Beijing city district and the Forbidden City compare how buildings organize space. The titles identify the creators’ subjects; the collection reads the scenes as spatial interpretations. Domestic spaces have their own Interiors collection.

These are spatial interpretations. Public covers do not establish surveyed dimensions or construction accuracy.
