Description

This course is an introduction to architecture and urbanism in Asia, beginning with pre-modern architectural and urban developments in East Asia, and thematic exploration of the same themes in South-East and West Asia. The focus of study is the contribution of individual buildings to the urban morphology. Against this pre-modern background, modern architectural and urban developments in the Asian context are considered and interpreted, including the rise of the modern profession of architecture, cross-cultural exchange, colonialism, conservation, regionalism, landscape, infrastructure innovation and rapid urbanization in mega-urban centres.
