Summary:
Peter Rowe and Yun Fu’s second volume on the modernization of architecture in the Far East deals with Southeast Asia and Austronesia, including the 12 nation states of Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, East Timor, Philippines and Taiwan, as well as the ocean peoples of Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia. The modern architecture of these culturally and nationally heterogenous regions echoes local vernacular traditions and colonial as well as postcolonial hegemonies from both the East and the West. The book tells the stories of these separate roots and their culmination into contemporary architectural production, analyzing the distinctiveness and quality of approx. 65 building projects that have emerged in the past half century.

Summary:
Publié pour la première fois en 1978 aux États-unis, "Collage city" est désormais un classique de la théorie urbaine. Réévaluation critique des théories contemporaines de l'urbabisme et du rôle de l'architecte-urbaniste dans un contexte urbain, cet ouvrage s'adresse aussi bien à des historiens, des spécialistes du droit public, des sociopsychologues et des politiciens qu'à des architectes. Dans un débat convaincant de grande envergure, les auteurs défendent la notion de ville-collision et le concept de l'architecte-bricoleur pour contrer directement les hypothèses qui sous-tendent le réaménagement à grande échelle des centres urbains.

Summary:
This book is a critical reappraisal of contemporary theories of urban planning and design and of the role of the architect-planner in an urban context. The authors rejecting the grand utopian visions of "total planning" and "total design," propose instead a "collage city" which can accommodate a whole range of utopias in miniature.
