Myers Architecture is dedicated to exploring the rich traditions and modern innovations of Chinese architecture. Our team of architecture enthusiasts, writers, and researchers works to create comprehensive, accurate, and engaging content about Chinese architectural heritage — from imperial palaces to vernacular villages, from traditional construction techniques to contemporary design innovations. We believe that Chinese architecture is one of the world's great artistic traditions, deserving of the same recognition and study as the architectural traditions of Europe, the Middle East, and other regions.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make Chinese architectural knowledge accessible to a global audience. While there are many excellent scholarly works on Chinese architecture, much of this knowledge has been confined to academic circles or available only in Chinese language sources. We aim to bridge this gap by creating content that is both authoritative and accessible — written for architecture students, design professionals, travelers, and anyone who appreciates beautiful buildings.
We cover a wide range of topics as detailed throughout this site: residential architecture types, regional architectural styles, architectural elements and construction techniques, interior design traditions, and iconic landmarks. Each article is researched from authoritative sources and written to provide both depth and readability. We believe that understanding Chinese architecture is essential to understanding Chinese civilization itself, and we are committed to sharing this understanding with the widest possible audience.
"Architecture is the mother of all arts, the framework within which human life unfolds. To understand a civilization, one must understand its buildings — how they were built, how they were used, and what they meant to the people who built and inhabited them. Chinese architecture offers an extraordinary window into one of the world's great civilizations."
