This book depicts Hui-style architecture, the only Chinese architectural school that fuses southern lofted structures with northern courtyard layouts, a fading heritage, and a vital part of China's cultural tapestry. The "windows" of each page transform 2D views into a 3D Hui-style panorama, “unveiling” not only architectural details with spatial reference and proportionality, but also the research of Hui houses from the misty Huizhou region. It provides a tangible visual to advocate for preserving Hui-style residential architecture.
