520    "In this interdisciplinary narrative, the never-ending 
       "completion" of China's most important street offers a 
       broad view of the relationship between art and ideology in
       modern China. Chang'an Avenue, named after China's ancient
       capital (whose name means "Eternal Peace"), is supremely 
       symbolic. Running east-west through the centuries-old 
       heart of Beijing, it intersects the powerful north-south 
       axis that links the traditional centers of political and 
       spiritual legitimacy (the imperial Forbidden City and the 
       Temple of Heaven). Among its best-known features are 
       Tiananmen Square and the Great Hall of the People, as well
       as numerous other monuments and prominent political, 
       cultural, financial, and travel-related institutions. 
       Drawing on Chang'an Avenue's historic ties and modern 
       transformations, this study explores the deep structure of
       the Chinese modernization project, providing both a big 
       picture of Beijing's urban texture alteration and details 
       in the design process of individual buildings. Political 
       winds shift, architectural styles change, and 
       technological innovations influence waves of demolition 
       and reconstruction in this analysis of Chang'an Avenue's 
       metamorphosis. During collective design processes, 
       architects, urban planners, and politicians argue about 
       form, function, and theory, and about Chinese vs. Western 
       and traditional vs. modern style. Every decision is 
       fraught with political significance, from the 1950s debate
       over whether Tiananmen Square should be open or partially 
       closed; to the 1970s discussion of the proper location, 
       scale, and design of the Mao Memorial/Mausoleum; to the 
       more recent controversy over whether the egg-shaped 
       National Theater, designed by the French architect Paul 
       Andreu, is an affront to Chinese national pride. Shuishan 
       Yu is associate professor of art history at Oakland 
       University in Rochester, Michigan."--|cProvided by
