Historical and theoretical inquiries into architecture and urbanism in order to trace a notional \"common divisor\" are integrated with readings of this Asian imagery. Such a common divisor is conditioned to Asia's phenomenal postcolonial subjectivation and showcases Asia's unique character. This book contends that the postcolonial condition of architecture in Asia suggests a potential and critical bridge to better understanding of the region. Theoretically, \"display-ness\" is a strategic and allegoric carrier that is in the focus of this book in order to emphasize the quality of display in a broader sense of time and space. Asia's architectural and urban spectacle thus is meaningly magnified and intensified with this notion of display-ness to ground the cohesive abstraction among ideological discourse production, innovative theorizations, and empirical phenomena in contemporary scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51266588999903,"sku":"9781793614056","price":73.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/gircDonJ59781793614056.webp?v=1787691122"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/francis-chia-hui-lin.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
