(Murphy was an American architect who practiced in China, ...)
Murphy was an American architect who practiced in China, where he learned to strike a balance between Western technologies and Chinese stylistic features in projects such as a Yale campus at Hunan. Cody (Chinese U. of Hong Kong) studies Murphy's life and work in an effort to reveal how his "adaptability transcended questions of architectural style to include matters of commerce, personal career success, and, to some degree, education and politics. He crossed more than national boundaries.

(The export of American architecture began in the nineteen...)
The export of American architecture began in the nineteenth century as a disjointed set of personal adventures and commercial initiatives. It continues today alongside the transfer of other aspects of American life and culture to most regions of the world. Jeffrey Cody explains how, why and where American architects, planners, building contractors and other actors have marketed American architecture overseas. In so doing he provides a historical perspective on the diffusion of American building technologies, architectural standards, construction methods and planning paradigms. Using previously undocumented examples and illustrations, he shows how steel-frame manufacturers shipped their products abroad enabling the erection of American-style skyscrapers worldwide by 1900 and how this phase was followed by similar initiatives by companies manufacturing concrete components.

(Photography was introduced to China in the 1840s through ...)
Photography was introduced to China in the 1840s through the West’s engagement in the Opium Wars and the subsequent reforms of Chinese statesmen. As a result, traditional modes of expression were dramatically transformed. Uncovered here is a captivating visual history of China during photography’s first century, from the late Qing period to Republican Shanghai and wartime Chongqing. Chinese export painters learned and adapted the medium of photography by grafting the new technology onto traditional artistic conventions - employing both brush and shutter. Ultimately, both Chinese and Western photographers were witnesses to and agents of dynamic cultural change.

Chinese Architecture and the Beaux-Arts examines the coalescing of the two major architectural systems, placing significant shifts in architectural theory and practice in China within relevant, contemporary, cultural, and educational contexts. Fifteen major scholars from around the world analyze and synthesize these crucial events to shed light on the dramatic architectural and urban changes occurring in China today - many of which have global ramifications.

Jeffrey W. Cody was born on January 8, 1950, in New York City, New York, United States. He is the son of William Malcolm and Audrey June Cody. He was raised on Long Island in New York.
In 1972 Jeffrey W. Cody received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Amherst College. In 1985 he obtained a Master of Arts degree from Cornell University. In 1989 Cody earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree from this university.
Jeffrey W. Cody traveled to France to work at sites in Burgundy and Lyon. Settling in Boston after participating in an excavation at a prehistoric site in Maine, he supported himself by working in restaurants while volunteering at Harvard's Peabody Museum, cleaning artifacts in storage. In 1976 he and his wife decided to walk from what was once the edge of medieval Europe, northern Scotland, to its religious center - Jerusalem. While the walking was eventually abandoned, Jeff and his wife ultimately reached Israel and then continued their odyssey by traveling overland throughout Asia. Early in 1979, they were teaching English in Iran when the revolution broke out, and they finally returned home. This traveling stimulated Jeff's interest in architecture and preservation.
From 1989 to 1995 he was a visiting assistant professor at Cornell University. He was hired by the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1995 to teach architectural history. During the next nine years, Jeff wrote two books: Building in China (2001) and Exporting American Architecture, 1870-2000 (2002).
In 2004, he and his family returned to the United States when Jeff joined the Getty Conservation Institute's Education department. His work today - including managing both the GCI's Southeast Asia education initiative and an upcoming course for archaeological site managers in Tunisia, as well as helping plan the Ninth World Congress of the Organization of World Heritage Cities - capitalizes on his education experience, his expertise as an architectural historian, his familiarity with Asia, and his participation in archaeology fieldwork and urban conservation projects.
