Rowe(With drawings by Michael Sypkens) Birkhauser, 2011 Beginning around the 1990s in East Asian cities various concatenations of events led those in power, along with many segments of society, to turn away from production-oriented and narrowly-defined pathways forward in modernization towards a much fuller embrace of broader lifestyle opportunities, improved environmental amenities, and higher standards of urban living. Within the scope of these turning points, new territories were chartered and new forms of urban-architectural development and expression were engaged in.
