Accédez au site de l'éditeur : Southeast Asia's Modern ArchitectureExtrait du site de l'éditeur :  What is the modern in Southeast Asia’s architecture and how do we  approach its study critically? This pathbreaking multidisciplinary  volume is the first critical survey of Southeast Asia’s modern  architecture. It looks at the challenges of studying this complex  history through the conceptual frameworks of translation, epistemology,  and power. Challenging Eurocentric ideas and architectural nomenclature,  the authors examine the development of modern architecture in  Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and  Vietnam, with a focus on selective translation and strategic  appropriation of imported ideas and practices by local architects and  builders. The book transforms our understandings of the region’s modern  architecture by moving beyond a consideration of architecture as an  aesthetic artifact and instead examining its entanglement with different  dynamics of power.
