Lost Fuzhou
autorstwa Jimmy5353

Fuzhou (Foochow), China, was one of the first five cities open to the world in the 1840s. The City has a number of European-style buildings constructed between the 1840s and the 1930s. Many buildings were localised with additional Chinese architectural features, meanning that they not only contain some basic Western architectural design (e.g. arch), but also unique Chinese styles (e.g. high-roof end). The majority of European-style buildings are concentrated in a district named Cangshan where 17 Countries' Consulates were located by the 1910s. Unfortunately, since the 1950s, more than 70% of these buildings are not protected or even maintained. They are either used as civilian residences or abandoned. This collection intends to show some local authorities and people the locations, shapes and importance of such unique urban fabric, and hope that they will look at the city and buildings in a long-term-thinking manner.
