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 reveals how old
buildings can be updated to realise innovation through renovation,
and features three essays and eleven projects that elaborate this
perspective. The three essays discuss regenerative architecture in
Pakistan that create contemporary examples of traditional
architecture, the revitalisation of old buildings in Hong Kong,
China for heritage conservation—along the concept of updating the
“hardware” and “software” of the building—and the sharing
and regeneration of historical heritage spaces in old towns in
Xiamen, China. The 11 projects, accompanied with full-colour photos
and text descriptions, highlight architectural works that showcase
the theme of renovation and innovation across projects that include
a house, library, chapel, and clinic, to reveal how these buildings
embody sustainability and innovation, and re-energise cities.
