Focusing on the golden age of globalisation (1990-2019), it investigates the transnational work of more than one thousand architectural firms of different business models from Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific in a broad sample of emerging markets: Mainland China, South-East Asia, India, the Persian Gulf, Sub-Saharan Africa, Russia and Kazakhstan, and Latin America. In the book, different thematic geographies are presented to explore the global scope of the contemporary profession, examine significant projects and the structural conditions behind them, and reveal the debates that such works generated. Understanding the global agency of design firms in emerging markets also becomes a way to study different market conditions, modes of production, and architectural trends comparatively and to highlight the shifts that occurred in the profession over the last few decades. The use of quantitative methodologies produces a novel and updated narrative on contemporary architecture in emerging markets grounded in quantitative data rather than in preassumptions and purely qualitative interpretations. Richly illustrated, this book is further enhanced by an ample set of maps, graphs, and tables to visualise data better. 606 $aCities and towns$xHistory 606 $aArchitecture 606 $aTechnology 606 $aHistory 606 $aUrban History 606 $aArchitecture 606 $aHistory of Technology 615 0$aCities and towns$xHistory. 615 0$aArchitecture. 615 0$aTechnology. 615 0$aHistory. 615 14$aUrban History. 615 24$aArchitecture. 615 24$aHistory of Technology. 676 $a900.91732 700 $aBotti$b Giaime$01359487 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910726275303321 996 $aDesigning Emerging Markets$93373982 997 $aUNINA
