À propos du livre
Urban Asia
Venturing beyond established tourist circuits, this collection invites you to explore sights less seen. Focusing on shapes and textures, colours, contrasts and geometries, this mesmerising blend of old and new spans genres from Neoclassical and Art Deco to Brutalist and Modernist.
Functional, sometimes almost industrial, the buildings are often colourful adaptations of colonial designs, improved to cope with the stifling tropical climate.
Despite their vibrancy, they lie moulded and crumbling, co opted by vigorous growths of vegetation and slowly dissolving beneath the monsoon rains.
Traversing Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia this journey reflects upon the influence of the seasons, not only on the architecture but on the cultures that inhabit it.
