Zheng Guanxuan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zheng Guanxuan (Chinese: 鄭觀萱; Wade–Giles: Cheng Kuan-hsuan) was a Chinese architect who was an early practitioner of modernism in China before World War II. He was a member of Five United, a disparate group of Chinese modern architects who had mainly studied in British universities.[1] He also used the name Arthur Koon Hing Cheang.

With other members of the group, he was one of the influential figures in architecture both in Mainland China and Taiwan.[2] The other members of Five United were Chen Chan-siang, Huang Zuo-shen, Luke Him Sau and Wang Da-hong.[3]
