Title Malaysia, modernity, and the multimedia super corridor : a critical geography of intelligent landscapes / Tim Bunnell.

Published New York : RoutledgeCurzon, 2004.

Bibliog. Includes bibliographical references and index.

Contents 1. Introduction -- 2. Modernity, space and the government of landscape -- 3. Positioning Malaysia: connections, divisions and development -- 4. Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC): global reorientation -- 5. Putrajaya and Cyberjaya: intelligent cities, intelligent citizens -- 6. Beneath the intelligent cities: socio-spatial dividing practices -- 7. Conclusion.

Summary "Based on fieldwork in Malaysia, this book provides a critical examination of the socio-spatial transformation of the country's main urban region. In the late twentieth century Kuala Lumpur experienced a spectacular redevelopment of urban space while the city formed part of an extended metropolitan area. Particular attention is paid here to the development of the Multimedia Super Corridor, a high-tech zone which extends fifty kilometres from the capital, and includes two new 'intelligent' cities, Putrajaya and Cyberjaya." "As the first book-length academic analysis of the development of Kuala Lumpur and the construction of the Multimedia Super Corridor, this work offers a situated, contextual account which will appeal to all those with research interests in Asian Urban Studies and Asian Sociology."--BOOK JACKET.

"India is a lively and diverse country, and it has like China, in recent years developed into one of the largest industrialised nations in the world. This process is also reflected in its architecture. Recent developments betray a new consciousness and the search for an Indian identity. International influences are merging with traditional styles to create a unique new architectural language, which also bears the stamp of Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn, who worked there." "In its introduction, the book depicts the rise of modern architecture in India since independence in 1947. The main section describes the important tendencies of contemporary Indian architecture in thematic chapters, each with examples. In addition to the new younger generation of Indian architects, it also considers the first post-independence generation, including Raj Rewal and Charles Correa."--BOOK JACKET.

the architecture of China’s great urban center

Description: p. cm.
Notes:

"In the last decade of the twentieth century, China determined that Shanghai would be its engine of modernization and economic growth. Leading
architects, including Norman Foster, Paul Andreu, Adrian Smith, John Portman, Chang Yung Ho, and Ma Qingyun, were lured to design vastly ambitious projects. Out of a creative ferment fueled by impatient aspirations, soaring buildings in a riot of styles sprang up - often before planners could even map their neighborhoods. Change touched every corner of Shanghai with staggering speed, from its famed waterfront, the Bund, to the distant outskirts."
"Author Jay Pridmore sets the story of Shanghai’s burgeoning growth against its complex history, taking in the tensions between European colonialism and Chinese nationalism, capitalism and communism, development and preservation. After surveying the city’s traditional Chinese and colonial architecture, he examines modernism’s advancement there and, backed by a wealth of superb photographs, illustrates Shanghai’s metamorphosis into one of the most vibrant and significant "new" cities of the twenty-first century."--BOOK JACKET.

"Riken Yamamoto, born in 1945, is one of the most interesting Japanese architects. His buildings have importance far beyond the borders of his native land. His work - above all, his apartments, schools and university buildings - stands timelessly and individually in the heterogeneity of Japanese architecture. In his architecture, Yamamoto is trying to account for changes in society, such as the dissolution of the basic family unit or new education programs, by developing the appropriate ground plan concepts. This publication documents Yamamoto’s manner of working and the persistent optimization of his architectural program by presenting twelve of his buildings. The architecture critic Wilhelm Klauser is an expert on the Japanese as well as on the entire Asian architectural scene."--BOOK JACKET.
