Summary:
Built around snatches of discussion overheard in a Beijing design studio, this book explores attitudes toward architecture in China since the opening of the Treaty Ports in the 1840s. Central to the discussion are the concepts of ti and yong, or “essence” and “form,” Chinese characters that are used to define the proper arrangement of what should be considered modern and(...)

Summary:
Built around snatches of discussion overheard in a Beijing design studio, this book explores attitudes toward architecture in China since the opening of the Treaty Ports in the 1840s. Central to the discussion are the concepts of ti and yong, or “essence” and “form,” Chinese characters that are used to define the proper arrangement of what should be considered modern and essentially Chinese. Ti and yong have gone through various transformations--for example, from “Chinese learning for essential principles and Western learning for practical application” to “socialist essence and cultural form” and an almost complete reversal to “modern essence and Chinese form.” The book opens with a discussion of cultural developments in China in response to the forced opening to the West in the mid-nineteenth century, efforts to reform the Qing dynasty, and the Nationalist and Communist regimes. It then considers the return of overseas-educated Chinese architects and foreign influences on Chinese architecture, four architectural orientations toward tradition and modernity in the 1920s and 1930s, and the controversy over the use of “big roofs” and other sinicizing aspects of Chinese architecture in the 1950s. The book then moves to the hard economic conditions of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, when architecture was almost abandoned, and the beginning of reform and opening up to the outside world in the late 1970s and 1980s. Finally, it looks at the present socialist market economy and Chinese architecture during the still incomplete process of modernization. It closes with a prognosis for the future.

En retour, leur façon de penser l’architecture et peut-être de construire se trouve profondément marquée par l’expérience chinoise. Ce livre, à travers onze interviews, veut témoigner de ces échanges, de ces allers et retours et de tous les questionnements qui les accompagnent.

Since Osaka World Expo ’70 highlighted contemporary forms, Japan has been a key player in global architecture. Tadao Ando's geometry put Japanese building on the map, bridging East and West. After his concrete buildings, figures like Kengo Kuma, Shigeru Ban, and Kazuyo Sejima pioneered a more sustainable approach. Younger generations have taken new directions, in harmony(...)

Summary:
Since Osaka World Expo ’70 highlighted contemporary forms, Japan has been a key player in global architecture. Tadao Ando's geometry put Japanese building on the map, bridging East and West. After his concrete buildings, figures like Kengo Kuma, Shigeru Ban, and Kazuyo Sejima pioneered a more sustainable approach. Younger generations have taken new directions, in harmony with nature, traditional building, and an endless search for forms. Presenting the latest in Japanese building, this book links this unique creativity to Japan's high population density, modern economy, long history, and continual disasters in the form of earthquakes. Accepting ambiguity, constant change, and catastrophe is a key to understanding how Japanese architecture differs from that of Europe or America.

Summary:
"20:21 - Emerging Hong Kong Architects" presents a spectrum of 20 architectural works from 20 Hong Kong architects selected from an open competition "Emerging Hong Kong Architects" organized by Hong Kong Institute of Architects in April 2003. Architects participating in the competition were asked to respond to 'architecture' amidst this complex 21st century where multi-disciplinary frontiers are more obscure than ever, space topographies are transforming, and active hybridization is in the making. In the book, the architects write about their aspirations in their profession, present their views on architecture, and explore future scenarios; each of different modulations and sensibilities expressed in their own architectural language, and some articulated through the exploration process with various art forms. In a joint effort to navigate through the vista of architecture, this is the first publication from Hong Kong Institute of Architects bringing together a multitude of the established, the upcoming and the heretofore unknown young architects in Hong Kong. Publication in English and Chinese.

Summary:
En Asie, le grand hôtel est directement lié au voyageur étranger. Il correspond à un temps non seulement de modernisation urbaine mais aussi d'ouverture et de relation avec les Occidentaux. C'est donc un lieu de rapport de forces économiques, d'importation de techniques modernes et de comportements nouveaux, un lieu enfin de confrontation culturelle. Objet urbain importé de l'Occident, le grand hôtel s'impose néanmoins comme marqueur des sociétés urbaines asiatiques. Il invite ainsi à reconsidérer les oppositions classiques entre la tradition et la modernité, l'identité asiatique et l'occidentalisation. Différentes générations de grands hôtels coexistent aujourd'hui dans les métropoles développées d'Asie que sont Tôkyô, Séoul, Hong Kong, Shanghai ou Pékin. Nombreux sont leurs atouts pour attirer les clients locaux et étrangers : ils s'appuient sur l'évocation de temps magnifiés et révolus, ou au contraire sur la modernité et le renouveau qu'ils incarnent ; ou bien ils jouent de leur double identité occidentale et asiatique ; enfin, ils offrent des services spécifiques (bar de nuit, salle d'exposition, centre de conférence...) Deux démarches sont ici suivies : une comparaison de l'usage asiatique du grand hôtel - et de ses temporalités - avec celui en Europe et en Amérique du Nord ; puis, l'analyse des modèles urbains venus d'Occident non pas sous l'angle de la seule importation mais aussi sous celui d'une histoire proprement asiatique de l'occidentalisation. A partir d'un objet singulier, cet ouvrage propose une interrogation sur la ville dans ses dimensions spatiale, sociale et de représentation. Il porte en particulier sur les sociabilités urbaines en Asie aujourd'hui, et il est issu d'une réflexion commune entre architectes, historiens et géographes, tous spécialistes de l'Asie orientale.
