This book traces the history of urban design in tropical South East
Asia with a view to offering solutions to contemporary
architectural and urban problems. The book examines how
pre-colonial forms and patterns from South East Asian traditional
cities, overlaid by centuries of change, recall present notions of
ecological and organic urbanism. These may look disorganised,
yet they reflect and suggest certain common patterns that
inform eco-urban design paradigms for the development of
future cities. Taking a thematic approach, the book examines how
such historical findings, debates and discussions can assist
designers and policy makers to interpret and then instil identities
in urban design across the Asian region. The book weaves a
discourse across planning, urban design, architecture and
ornamentation dimensions to reconstruct forgotten forms
that align with the climate of place and resynchronise
with the natural world, unearthing an ecologically benign
urbanism that can inform the future. Written in an accessible
style, this book will be an invaluable reference for researchers
and students within the fields of cultural geography, urban studies
and architecture.
