Bracketing before framing
the grounding of Colony architecture
pp. 101-137
This chapter highlights the inescapable postcolonial factors in analyses of contemporary Asia, which is schematised by the author as the proposition of colony architecture. Colony architecture is a notion that integrates Asia's colonial character and heteroglossic and decolonisation characteristics in architecture from a perspective of decoding postcoloniality. The architectural notion of Asia's colonial character is decoded in the chapter using the examples of Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Australia in terms of agency, reception, adaptation and representation.
