Many studies have been conducted on the architectural and urban ‘tradition’. While the discourse on tradition is a product of colonialism that put the traditional East in opposition of the modern West, the existing architectural and urban theories are mainly dominated by the Western approach which does not always fit those of Southeast Asia which is the result of the difference in climate, socio-cultural and political situation. This panel will examine the practices of architecture and urban planning in contemporary Southeast Asia to contribute to the knowledge on architecture and urban of Southeast Asia. The papers in this panel are expected to focus on but not limited to empirical studies on architecture or urban planning, urban policies, architectural and urban discourses that show the gap between the Southeast Asian practices and Western architectural and urban theories.Contact: Ofita Purwani s0912002@sms.ed.ac.uk and Wido Prananing Tyas w.p.tyas@ncl.ac.uk.
