Chinoiserie by Howard Davis
A girl discovers an egg from which a baby dragon emerges. However, the baby dragon is sad and lonely. The girl soon realises what she must do to help the baby dragon be happy and returns him to his family. This fun rhyming story will capture any child's imagination. It is also simple enough for young readers to read on their own.Howard Davis is Professor of Architecture at the University of Oregon. His research is concerned with the relationships between architecture and the contemporary city, focusing on how the form of the city and the architecture of its buildings help enable diversity, economic and cultural sustainability, and resilience. Through his teaching of design studios, lecture courses, and seminars that examine architectural contexts of culture and place, his students view architecture as strongly anchored in the worlds of people, cultures, and geography.
Howard Davis has been on the faculty at the University of California, Berkeley; Edinburgh University; the Universidad Autonoma de Baja California, Mexico; the Bartlett School of Architecture in London; and the School of Planning and Architecture in New Delhi. His first book, The Culture of Building, was named Best Work in Architecture and Urban Studies by the Association of American Publishers in 2000. He was named Distinguished Professor of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture in 2009, and received the University of Oregon's Thomas F. Herman Award for Distinguished Teaching in 2011.
