Vo believes that architecture should connect people with nature, instead of separating them off. He infuses highly “invasive” plants into the architecture space, creates “inner” space that is open or semi-open to nature, and builds green architecture with sustainable and local materials. By developing unique processing methods, he turns bamboo into “the steel of 21st century” and uses them to build strikingly grand bamboo architecture. In addition to commercial projects, Vo also pays attention to the residential condition of the low- er-income, designing low-cost houses which are inexpensive and easy to install, with their design also highly praised. The New York Times commented that he has brought Japanese simplicity to Southeastern Asia, CNN said he changed the skyline of Asia. With more than 60 high-res color pictures, Infinitely close to nature fully demonstrates the interior and exterior structure, details, inspirations and the aesthetical source of Vo’ s works.   BBC、CNN 眼中改变越南的建筑师,普里兹克奖热门人选   贝聿铭推崇的东方美学与自然建筑的先行者   “世界上最会使用竹子的建筑师”武重义的首本作品集   获国际建筑奖、亚洲建筑师协会金奖,上海世博会、米兰世博会的越南馆都是他的作品   “有时候我们只问一个问题:当我们设计建筑时,我们可以将多少绿色区域,多少棵大树,还给我们的地球?”——武重义   《无限接近自然》是自然建筑巨匠,世界上最会使用竹子的建筑师,国际建筑奖、亚洲建筑师协会金奖、FuturArc 绿色领袖大奖等超过15项国际大奖得主武重义的全球首本建筑设计作品集。从文字、访谈与案例三个维度,完整呈现其在竹造建筑、绿色建筑、低成本住宅三个领域的经典实践。   武重义认为建筑应该成为人与自然沟通的媒介而非障碍,用大量“侵入”建筑空间的植物、向自然敞开的开放空间、可持续和当地材料,构建“无限接近自然”的绿色建筑。通过改造材料结构与工艺,他将竹子变成“21世纪的钢材”,呈现令人惊叹的竹造建筑。除了商业项目,他对改善低收入者的居住环境有持续的关注,不断研发成本低廉、容易安装、在设计上获得赞誉的低成本住宅。   《纽约时报》说他把日式简约风格带到东南亚,CNN 说他改变了亚洲的天际线。透过超60张高清彩图,完整呈现武重义建筑的内外结构、局部细节、设计灵感与美学原点。

        Methodist missionaries in colonial and postcolonial Burma, 1887–1966

        by Andrew Thompson, Michael D. Leigh, John M. MacKenzie

        This book is a study of the ambitions, activities and achievements of Methodist missionaries in northern Burma from 1887-1966 and the expulsion of the last missionaries by Ne Win. The story is told through painstaking original research in archives which contain thousands of hitherto unpublished documents and eyewitness accounts meticulously recorded by the Methodist missionaries. This accessible study constitutes a significant contribution to a very little-known area of missionary history. Leigh pulls together the themes of conflict, politics and proselytisation in to a fascinating study of great breadth. The historical nuances of the relationship between religion and governance in Burma are traced in an accessible style. This book will appeal to those teaching or studying colonial and postcolonial history, Burmese politics, and the history of missionary work.
