This edited collection explores the visibility of modernization in
architecture produced in different capitalist regions across the
world and provides readers with a historico-theoretical and
historico-geographical discussion. Focusing on a particular
building type, an influential architect’s work, as well as
relevant texts and documents, each chapter addresses the many
facets of "delay" which are central to the problematization of
capitalism’s progressive dissemination of technological and
aesthetic regimes of modernism. This collection underlines the
centrality of temporality for a critical understanding of
colonialism, modernism, and capitalism. The book is primarily
concerned with the historical timeline, the tangential point when a
nation enters modernization processes. In exploring modernism in
diverse regions such as East Asia, Pacific, Eastern Europe, and
Iran, each chapter addresses the historiographic and architectonic
unfolding of modernization beyond the western hemisphere. The
exploration of these diverse case-studies will be of interest to
students of architecture and researchers working on the collision
of temporalities and the subject's critical importance for
different country’s built-environments.
