More specifically, it views the building processes of the four churches and the Western palaces in the YuaÌnmiÌng YuaÌn garden as an example of cultural dialogue in the context of the Enlightenment. The study is based firstly on archival sources from different institutions from around the globe, using Big Data to manage them. Secondly, it places increased emphasis on architectural remains, preserved both in international collections as well as at archaeological sites. To take advantage of these remains, some were recorded using close-range photogrammetry. Digital sunlight analyses of the buildings' interiors were also carried out. From these emerging technologies, as well as written sources, it becomes possible first to reinterpret Beijing as an imperial capital where religious tolerance and cosmopolitanism were increasing, and second to re-evaluate the entire YuaÌnmiÌng YuaÌn Garden complex as a miniature version of Beijing. This approach makes for easier subsequent comparisons with other imperial capitals of the time, such as London, Paris and Istanbul. As such, this study reveals a largely neglected chapter in the global history of architecture, while simultaneously offering a crucial re-examination of the existing architectural remains."--Back cover. 651 0 $a Beijing (China) $x History $x History $y 18th century. 651 0 $a Beijing (China) $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Architecture $z Beijing $z Beijing $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Enlightenment $z Beijing. $z Beijing. 650 7 $a Architecture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00813346 650 7 $a Buildings. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00840962 651 7 $a China $z Beijing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205740 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $a Pedro Luengo. $t Global architecture for eighteenth-century Beijing. $d Liverpool : Liverpool University Press, 2022. $z 9781800855335 $w (OCoLC)1324937485 773 18 $w 990075856550202771 $g no:31858072866563 830 0 $a Oxford University studies in the Enlightenment ; $v 2022:04. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240217011314.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7CBBBE38DDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
