This book proposes a new theoretical framework for understanding architecture and urbanism in Asia through the intertwined metaphors of the postcolonial, the urban, and the maritime.
It positions Asia not as a cultural identity or fixed geography, but as a methodological horizon shaped by articulation, negotiation, and discontinuous historicity. Against universalising narratives that treat Asian architecture as derivative or exceptional, this book foregrounds entanglement and circulation as constitutive conditions of spatial knowledge. Concepts such as display, colony character, appropriate fuzziness, and micro-historicity are mobilised to capture the fractured and provisional character of architectural knowledge in Asia. These are developed through empirical sites across East and Southeast Asia, where infrastructural improvisations and heteroglossic assemblages reveal architecture as a field continually reconfigured through contestation. Rather than presenting a unified theory, this book offers a repertoire of concepts attentive to flux, opacity, and unfinishedness. In doing so, it advances a situated and dynamic theorisation of architecture in Asia, where amphibious 'tidal grounds' articulate the restless interplay of thought, practice, and environment.
Providing a unique analytical framework attentive to the fluidities of region, history, and spatial knowledge, this book is a valuable resource for students, scholars, and practitioners in architecture and urban design, postcolonial studies, cultural geography, Asian studies, and maritime urban history.
