Black and white photographic illustrations, 293pp, index. Hardback in dustjacket. New. "Architect Tay Kheng Soon's book brings together memoir, a selection of writings on identity, landscape and belonging, and on the architecture and urbanism most appropriate for a tropical city in Asia. Born in British-ruled Singapore, Tay was deeply engaged in the debates about building a new world that attended the end of colonialism. His focus, but far from his only concern, was Singapore's built environment - and its spiritual one - since the early 1960s. Architecture, he says, is politics by other means. As Singapore moved further into what Tay describes as "ruthless pragmatism", the cost of his critical posture became more clear. After he organised a protest against the Vietnam War in 1972, Tay's co-founders in the pioneering architectural firm Design Partnership reformed their partnership as DP Architects without him, building a practice that grew into an empire. Kheng Soon stayed his own course, first working in Malaysia designing low-cost housing, then returning to Singapore and building his own firm. He became sought after around the world for his thoughts on regionalism and tropical architecture." (Publisher's description).

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Study of the foundations and working mechanisms of modern communities In the changing world of interwar Europe a longing for stability rose to the surface of social life. Newly developed neighbourhoods and buildings were designed to create the healing community that many people were dreaming of. Various social groups with nationalist, ideological, or religious agendas made this concept of community a cornerstone in their framework and appropriated it to prescribe the relations between architecture and modernity. Making a New World analyses the various ways in which these relations were determined. Most activists/entities encountered the potentialities of modernity, such as technology or mass media, in an accommodating way. In a broad spectrum of actions and proposals - from art exhibitions to séances, photo reports to roof tiles, landscapes to sanitation - these reformists were hoping to create a universe in which their communal dream could become a reality. The 17 contributions to this richly illustrated volume draw the contours of this new world by analysing its foundations and working mechanisms at its heart.
