In Ostasien, also in China, Japan, der Republik Korea und Taiwan, entstehen derzeit zukunftsweisende architektonische Projekte, bei denen lokale Bedingungen und Traditionen ebenso eine wichtige Rolle spielen wie die Kenntnis globaler Medientechnologien und die soziales Bewusstsein, ökologische Strategien sowie künstlerische Praktiken auf neue Weise verknüpfen. Diese Architektur ist weniger an ikonischen Objekten und spektakulären Formen interessiert als vielmehr an einer strukturellen Neuausrichtung der Gesellschaft in ihren räumlichen Dimensionen. Damit kündigt sich eine soziale Ästhetik an, deren Strategien im globalen Umgang mit sich verknappenden Ressourcen zunehmend wichtig werden.
Der Band stellt mehr als 60 architektonische Projekte in Ostasien vor, bietet Essays zu dem je nach Land unterschiedlichen Verhältnis von Architektur und alltäglicher räumlicher Praxis und wird ergänzt durch grafische und fotografische Kartierungen spezifisch asiatischer Phänomene.

Cool looking everyday basic watch for low price
Color: Tan
Good looking watch, especially in Tan color. Looks like a G-Shock but for much lower price. Has some useful basic functions, good for swimming, very light. But: - it has actually 4 buttons, no button at the right top - TEL feature - can save up to 30 phone numbers. Does anyone used this feature in the last 20 years? - Black digital display is not very well visible. Strange it is not lightened at all by the watch light. Only analog display (which is glowing in the dark) is lightened. - The analog and digital time need to be set separately. - some buttons beep and some not, and this cannot be changed. The bottom line: cool looking everyday basic watch for low price.

I love this watch even though it has some really big flaws.
Color: Tan
I love this watch even though there are some major problems. The quality of the crystal is really clear. I love the way the dial looks. It is very easy to read analog hands. It has a lot of lume on the hands so reading the time at night is not a problem even without the illumination. The indices do not glow as bright but can be easily seen when you hit the light button. I like the colors on the dial as well. I do find the digital dispay to be small and obstructed by the light button. The digital display is also unreadable when you look straight on. It just appears black until you look at it at an angle. The worst part is that the light does not even illuminate the digital display. It is not a deal breaker for me as I don't play on using the digital functions when it is dark. Honestly, I probably am not going to be using the other functions other than time. Setting the analog time is annoying as you have to hold the button and wait until you get to the respective time and it only moves forward. Overall nice looking watch that seems well built. If you use the digital functions a lot this is probably not the watch for you.
