Addressing the conventional ideologies by which architecture is assessed, the author outlines an epistemic bridge that situates the colonial character of Asian architecture within a global historical and theoretical context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContemporary Asian architectural histories are marked not only by the influence of the Western architectural canon but also by a sense of temporality that reflects an ongoing process of subjectivation. Providing insight into these histories, the author proposes a methodology that extends the notion of the postcolonial comportment beyond its conventional historical context and into the spatial register of theorisation. By interviewing critical postcolonial theory with empirical analysis of contemporary Asian architecture and urbanisation, this book offers a critical lens for understanding Asia not simply as a site of architectural production, but as a theoretical interlocutor in the global rethinking of space, time and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFrancis Chia Hui Lin\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor in the Graduate Institute of Building and Planning at the National Taiwan University, Taiwan.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01 October 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781666973914\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e288\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55340105957516,"sku":"9781666973914","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_d3270681-8670-4c6a-84b3-aa444989e3da.jpg?v=1788035131","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781666973914","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
