Making and Meaning in Asia Architecture: A Sensory Exploration

Asia is a continent of rich and diverse cultures, each with its own unique traditions and ways of life. This diversity is reflected in the architecture of Asia, which encompasses a wide range of styles, from the traditional to the modern. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the sensory dimensions of Asian architecture, and how these dimensions can be used to create spaces that are not only visually stunning but also deeply meaningful.
