Sleeping dragon

im in midst of reading two books simultaneously.one written by former journalists on a review of the rise of China which they went in in 1988 and left in 1993.this American born whiteman and his abc Chinese wife write on the evolution of the middle kingdom.its a coincidence the interior architecture design book is also cowritten by an American and his China born wife.what commonality beiween the two is both looks at how China adopts and adapts to both Eastern and Western charactetistics .whereas one is how to incorporate western aesthetics and preserving chinese cultural legacy in a visual feast the other looks at how the east adapts to western modernisation and evolve in its political,social and economic agenda.China fuses the yin and yang into a cohesive whole unlike the more split policies of the west that causes divisiveness and separation.i adore the designs of Jim Spears that enhances the classical feel of rustic Chinese houses with the western style of comfort.i would dearly love to spend time in one of those homes as airb and b .instead he preserves the past but transforms it.i love how he incorporated a huge boulder found in the site without blowing it up to build a brick wall but instead cut the red bricks to fit into the boulder.it looks like a stone sculpture of a chinese scholar garden.thats amazing creativity like suseki.
