The articles consider how various experiences of Singapore, both from within and from outside, help to complicate existing assumptions about global urbanism, postcolonialism, and architectural theory while producing challenging new ideas from a variety of disciplines concerned with how space, historicity, architecture and textuality inform one another.Architext series.ArchitectureSingaporeCity planningSingaporeArchitecture and historySingaporeGlobalizationArchitectureCity planningArchitecture and historyGlobalization.307.1/216/095957Bishop Ryan1959-862059Phillips John1956-1481085Yeo Wei-Wei1481086MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783737803321Beyond description3814567UNINA
