This new edited volume of critical essays examines designs for
modern living in Asia between 1945 and 1990. Focusing particularly
on the post-World War II and postcolonial years, this book advances
multidisciplinary knowledge on approaches to and designs for modern
living. Developed from extensive primary research and case studies,
each essay illuminates commonalities and particularities of the
trajectories of Modernism and notions of modernity, their
translation and manifestation in life across Asia through design.
Authors address everyday negotiations and experiences of being
modern by studying exhibitions, architecture, modern interiors,
printed ephemera, literary discourses, healthy living movements and
transnational networks of modern designers. They examine processes
of exchange between people, institutions and with governments, in
and across Asia, as well as with the USA and countries in Western
Europe. This book highlights the ways in which the production and
discourses of modern design were underscored by economic
advancement and modernization processes, and fuelled by aesthetic
debates on modern design. Critically exploring design for modern
living in Asia, this book offers fresh perspectives on Modernism to
students and scholars.
