Architecture Asia, as the official journal of the Architects
Regional Council Asia, aims to provide a forum not only for
presenting Asian phenomena and their characteristics to the world,
but also for understanding diversity and multiculturalism within
Asia from a global perspective. This issue reveals the development
of Thailand contemporary architecture, and features five essays and
twelve projects that elaborate this perspective. The five essays
elaborate the contemporary architecture of Thailand in Southeast
Asia, and how Thailand architecture was influenced by western
architectural theories and finally found a good balance between
modernisation and localisation. The twelve projects, accompanied
with full-colour photos and text descriptions, concentrate on the
exploration of modernity, regionalism and futurism in Thai
architecture from 1940 to 1980, and highlight architectural works
that reflect on practical industrial buildings, demonstrate the
exploration of Thai contemporary architecture from form, space and
architecture to the complex disciplines of ecology, humanities,
society and industry.

Architectural exhibition is an important aspect in the study and
transmission of architectural culture. The academic thoughts and
design styles that influence the trends of global architecture are
all established through one or a series of important architectural
exhibitions. This book is produced based on the GSD (Harvard
Graduate School of Design) autumn exhibition: 'Towards a Critical
Pragmatism: Contemporary Chinese Architecture'. It reveals a unique
perspective of contemporary Chinese architecture by showcasing 60
works from 60 contemporary architects within five thematic
categories: cultural, residential, regeneration, rural, and
digital. The selected architects attempt to maintain, from the
earliest moments of the design process to its finished outcome, a
certain level of critical thinking and quality. It is a record of
the continuous evolution and growth of contemporary Chinese
architecture and hopes to open up a new avenue from which to
encourage further conversation regarding both the present and
future state of China's architecture culture.
