GENUINE CONSTRUCTION

Zhang Pengju's buildings explore the intersection of architecture and landscape as
topographical art. His architectural practice is deeply rooted in the terrain and local history
of China's Inner Mongolia region and at the same embodies contemporary architecture at its
best. He engages in defining and cultivating topographical order and demonstrates how creative
thinking can transform the fragments of our living conditions and our lives into images of a
unified world.   The seventeen realized designs featured in Genuine Construction exemplify the
architect's approach. Each project is introduced by a concise text and presented through color
photographs  plans  drawings  and sketches showing the use of natural materials  smooth lines 
and humble models that skillfully blend these buildings into their surroundings. A foreword by
David Leatherbarrow  professor emeritus at the University of Pennsylvania's Stuart Weitzman
School of Design  and essays by Chem Zhao  professor at Nanjing University's School of
Architecture and Urban Planning  and Yonggao Shin  associate professor at Southeast
University's School of Architecture in Nanjing  round out this monograph.     Genuine
Construction showcases outstanding designs that are also manifestations of a new and noteworthy
trend in contemporary architecture worldwide.
