Independence had been won from \u003cbr\u003ecolonial powers, and young states such as Burma (Myanmar), Indonesia, \u003cbr\u003eCambodia and Singapore were faced with the task of reconstituting \u003cbr\u003ethemselves as nations and developing an independent identity. \u003cbr\u003eArchitecture and urban planning played an important role in this \u003cbr\u003eprocess. Local manifestations of modernism emerged that sought to \u003cbr\u003ereconcile universal aspirations with specific social conditions. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis\u003cbr\u003e volume critically examines this architectural and ideological heritage \u003cbr\u003eand argues for the preservation and redevelopment of these particular \u003cbr\u003earchitectures, which are at risk of disappearing amid the rapid \u003cbr\u003eurbanization of today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eARCH+\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eZeitschrift für Architektur und Urbanismus \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 11.65 x 9.21 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 19, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50333877797101,"sku":"9783035624533","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/Msiwur9uXw9783035624533.webp?v=1784994292","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-gb\/products\/contested-modernities-postcolonial-architecture-and-the-construction-of-identities-in-southeast-asia-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
