Reimagining Environmental Identity by Ping Jiang presents a compelling exploration of architectural practice designed to navigate the dynamic urban landscapes of China and beyond.

The book showcases 19 diverse projects from Jiang's studio, reflecting a novel approach to architecture that engages deeply with social, cultural, technological, and environmental issues. Rather than adhering to conventional architectural norms, Jiang's practice emphasizes the creation of meaningful, context-sensitive designs that foster a profound connection between people and their environment. Through a range of projects, from high-rise buildings to urban interventions and civic structures, the monograph highlights a non-linear design process that blends spatial experience with cultural relevance and environmental sensitivity. It underscores the importance of forging a unique sense of place and identity in architecture, advocating for designs that resonate with both local and global contexts. This collection offers insights into how contemporary architecture can address the complexities of urban life while preserving and enhancing cultural and environmental values.
