Mark O’Neill on Liang Sicheng: The Guardian of China’s Architectural History, 24/6/25, SOAS

Mark O’Neill will talk about his book ‘Liang Sicheng – The Guardian of China’s Architectural History’. Liang Sicheng ( 梁思成) was the Father of Architecture in China. During the 1930s and 1940s, he and his wife travelled to more than 200 counties in the interior and found 2,738 ancient buildings. The two discovered the richness and diversity of China’s architectural heritage and, through their books and drawings, made them available to the world, both Chinese and non-Chinese.
