Synopsis

• Architects Regional Council Asia aims to provide a forum, not only for presenting Asian phenomena and their characteristics to the world
• They also aim for understanding diversity and multiculturalism within Asia from a global perspective

Architecture Asia, as the official journal of the Architects Regional Council Asia, aims to provide a forum, not only for presenting Asian phenomena and their characteristics to the world, but also for understanding diversity and multiculturalism within Asia from a global perspective.

This issue discusses the topic of globalisation and locality through four essays and eleven projects. The essays attempt to observe the tension between the different forces of globalisation, which is being widely debated as a distinguishing trend, and also highlight globalisation's impact on local architecture, as well as the various efforts being taken to ensure local identity and distinctive locality in architecture design. The projects, accompanied by full-colour photos and text descriptions, demonstrate the many successful attempts in developing design concepts and methods to cope with the globalisation trend while maintaining locality. These essays and projects are carefully selected to represent diversity in project locations, and includes locations such as Thailand, India, Japan, and China.
