The exhibition delves into the diversity and distinctions that language brings to hearing, vision, touch, and smell, structured into three chapters: "Sound / Language of Humanity," "Silent / Language of Shading," and "Perceive / Language of Ritual." Through these chapters, nearly 50 architectural firms from 15 Asian countries showcase the contemporary architecture of Asia. The exhibition's theme, "Collective Language," reflects on the symbiotic relationship between people and architecture in various Asian regions, highlighting concepts like scale, volume, contrast, dynamic, thermal, resilience, legacy, harmony, and compression. Jenchieh Hung, the exhibition chairman and principal curator of The Association of Siamese Architects under Royal Patronage in Thailand, explained that the exhibition illustrates how sound, silence, and perception are integrated into architectural space, embodying the languages of humanity, shading, and ritual. They represent not only a collective language but also offer Asian contemporary architecture a means to reconsider the possibilities of future trends.For more information : https://www.asaexpo.org/en/abo...Read the full post on Bustler
