The Grand Documentation: Ernst Boerschmann and Chinese Religious Architecture (1906-1931)

摘要

Anyone who entered the Chinese architecture field in North America or Europe in the last century has known the name Ernst Boerschmann. Few, however, have read more than one of his books; and there are more than ten, some of them multi-volume. In part this is because he wrote almost exclusively in German; but it is also because Boershmann's writings had such limited circulation. Edouard Kogel's book does much to right this situation.
