Globalization and Locality
✏️Editorial
There is a considerable exchange of ideas, cultures, and architectural designs among Asian countries touched by globalization; some of these exchanges go way back to an earlier time. However, even through the alterations brought on by globalization, different geographical and cultural backgrounds have allowed some Asian countries and regions to retain their own uniqueness to form a unique regional identity.
Against this backdrop, this issue points out some notes of interest: 1) The exchange and spread of Japanese architectural culture in China; 2) Some of the common problems faced by Asian cities, such as congestion, poor environmental conditions, shortage of green areas, and poor use of public spaces are given local solutions; 3) Investigation and respect for locality.
The project section in this issue provides varied alternative responses to address the topic of maintaining locality amid globalization. Asian architects interpret locality from various perspectives, not only regionally, but also universally. MoMA, Lushan Times, and Suzhou Urban Planning Exhibition Hall each reply to their complex urban surroundings with an outstanding and independent outlook. Office Complex for Gopal Printpack Solutions, Maly Koncert, and Zhongguancun Digital Economy Innovation Industry Base offer an investigation on ontological design from the perspective of internality. Wanping Theater, Rane Vidyalaya, and Athenia High School explicate innovative materials from indigenous culture. This issue highlights both the significance of Asian discourse in globalization, as well as its inherent responsibility for locality.
