Résumé:
n the years following China’s Cultural Revolution, architecture played an active role in the country’s reintegration into the global economy and capitalist world. Looking at the ways in which political and social reform transformed Chinese architecture and how, in turn, architecture gave structure to the reforms, Cole Roskam underlines architecture’s unique ability to shape space as well as behavior. Roskam traces how foreign influences like postmodernism began to permeate Chinese architectural discourse in the 1970s and 1980s and how figures such as Kevin Lynch, I. M. Pei, and John Portman became key forces in the introduction of Western educational ideologies and new modes of production. Offering important insights into architecture’s relationship to the politics, economics, and diplomacy of post-Mao China, this unprecedented interdisciplinary study examines architecture’s multivalent status as an art, science, and physical manifestation of cultural identity.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, has one of the most important buildings of the 20th century: its parliamentary building by Louis I. Kahn constructed between 1961 and 1982. Little is known, however, about the local architecture scene that has emerged since then. Yet contemporary architecture in Bangladesh exhibits a strong formal idiom that has its roots in tradition and is combined with an innovative handling of local resources such as bamboo and brick. Alongside texts by Andreas Ruby, Niklaus Graber, Kazi Khaleed, Saif Ul Haque and Syed Manzoorul Islam, the special photographs taken by Iwan Baan for this publication capture the imagination.

Résumé:
If past centuries belonged to Europe and much of the last century has been dominated by America, then now it is China’s turn. For decades, the nation has experienced unprecedented economic growth, and it managed to evade the West’s economic recession. It has gained a significant economic presence in nearly every part of the world. Yet China is now in the midst of an economic slowdown, which impacts its architecture, urban planning, and infrastructure, both at home and abroad. Nanne de Ru and Hans Ibelings undertake a closer examination of this process, with reports from Canada, Portugal, Angola, South Africa, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, and Central and South America.

Résumé:
Based on his experiences teaching, researching and practicing in India, Henrik Valeur discusses some of the problems related to the urban transition of India, including air pollution, contamination and depletion of fresh water resources, its precarious food situation, the lack of proper housing, and various environmental and human health problems related to motorized transportation. He proposes a number of possible solutions, including the use of plants and natural ventilation to create clean indoor air, the revitalisation of an existing system of water canals, the creation of vertical kitchen gardens, a strategy for making an entire neighbourhood car-free and a design for self-designed, low-cost housing.
