Abstract:
"As Beijing prepares for the 2008 Olympics, most of the hutong-- the city's small traditional dwellings and the network of lanes and alleys formed by them-- are being demolished to make room for skyscrapers. This program explores social and cultural changes in historical Beijing, as seen in the life of a few ordinary citizens who still live in the hutong. The program includes computer models of the designing of ancient Beijing City"--Container.
