Lecture date: 2002-11-12 Robert Powell, an architect, writer and educator currently researching contemporary Asian architecture, sees an architecture of resistance giving way to an engagement with the age of globalization. He suggests that the information revolution and the new structures of virtual space and international capital are helping to create a mood for dialogue and for a transcultural architecture located at the intersection of local and global contexts. He examines this phenomenon through the development of single-family residences in South and South-East Asia over the past two decades. Powell is the author of several books on architecture and urbanism in Asia, including The New Asian House (2000); Singapore: The Architecture of a Global City (2000); and Rethinking the Skyscraper: The Complete Works of Ken Yeang.
