Architecturalized Asia explores built environments and visual
narratives in Asia via cartography, icons, and symbols in different
historical settings. It grows out of a three-year project focusing
on cultural exchange in the making of Asia’s boundaries as well
as its architectural styles and achievements. The book consists of
three sections. In Mapping Asia: Architectural Symbols from
Medieval to Early Modern Periods, authors examine icons and symbols
in maps and textual descriptions and other early evidence about
Asian architecture. The second section, Conjugating Asia: The
Long-Nineteenth Century and Its Impetus, explores the construction
of the field of Asian architecture and the political imagination of
Asian built environments in the nineteenth century. The third
section, Manifesting Asia: Building the Continent with
Architecture, addresses the physical realization of “Asian”
geographic ideas within a set of specific local and regional
contexts in the twentieth century. Regions and conditions covered
in Architecturalized Asia include French Indochina, Iran,
post-Soviet Central Asia, Japanese landscape, and the construction
of the Afro-Asian built environment.
