Liang Sicheng
Liang Sicheng (1901-1972) was a renowned Chinese architect and architectural historian, often regarded as the father of modern architecture in China. He was instrumental in the integration of traditional Chinese architectural principles with modern design techniques. After studying at the University of Pennsylvania, he returned to China and became a key figure in preserving Chinese architectural heritage, notably through his work in documenting and advocating for the conservation of ancient buildings. His efforts laid the groundwork for modern architectural education in China, and he played a significant role in the establishment of the architecture department at Tsinghua University. Liang's legacy continues to influence architects and scholars in the field today.
