The Dilemmas/ Paradoxes of Modernity in Asian Cosmopolitan

 

The dilemma with Asian Architects & Architecture is the “Re-definition” and “Re-evaluation” of their deeply rooted culture with its coexistence of the Western modernity defined in the last century. The vast invasion of Western “modenity” flooded into part of an unprecedented daily experience – including architecture in the cities. Until today, the search for modernity in architecture in relation to Asian culture is still a vague and premature topic. The relation between universal aspiration and local culture and their paradoxes have preoccupied thinkers in the region down to the present.

 

The “Humane Horizontality” in Architecture
In recent decades, cosmopolitan features and influences such as iconic skyscrapers and high-rise mega-structures were celebrated, but in general without the spirit of affection and humanity that marked globalization. In light of this, redefining “Horizontality” within Hyper Density cities is a worthwhile topic to be explored and re-examined.
