Modern Asian Design provides a comprehensive introduction to the
development of Asian design in the modern period, both tracing
historical threads and offering a theoretical framework within
which to chart the history of design in Asia. Rather than a
singular "Asian history", this book presents a series of studies
centred on trade routes, colonial relationships, regional networks
and cross-cultural exchanges. Modern Asian Design builds on
existing resources beyond design history in an effort to map the
field, focusing particularly on relations between Asia and the West
and also across Asian design cultures. Opening with a brief
overview of trade and exchange networks in the 17th and 18th
centuries, the bulk of this study comprises analysis of the
development of modern design in Asia during the later 19th and
early 20th centuries, a period of rapid modernisation. The book's
final two chapters bring these central ideas into a contemporary
and highly relevant context.
