Architecture and design from the Asia Pacific
The Asia Pacific is a rich collage of cultures and languages; as a collective we share commonalities in our histories and challenges in the past, present and future. How can architecture and design celebrate and amplify the region’s myriad traditions, environments and continual evolution?
Speakers from the Asia Pacific will discuss projects, processes, research and ideas that relate to architecture's role in the culture, sustainability and economy of the region. -
