Seoul Selection USA, Inc., USA p $ / null 380 gm. The modernization of traditional houses in each country may be understood as a process by which various aspects of culture and architecture originating from China, India, European colonial countries and international style were assimilated into various forms and elements of traditional houses. In contemporary houses recently developed in Southeast Asian cities, influences of more nearby regions such as South Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore can easily be found. Even under such multicultural influences, Southeast Asian countries sought compromises and maintained each country's unique housing culture, resulting in the differentiation of each country's housing style. This book aims to find out the uniqueness of each Southeast Asian country's modern housing through the understanding of the modern housing typologies of each county produced by the process of modernization. Previous studies of Southeast Asia's urban housing were mostly on political, institutional, and economic issues, which can be said to be macroissues. However, this book focuses on the forms of urban housing, which is rather a micro-issue, compared to previous studies.

Nine in One Landscape / Pichai Jiropas Li-Zenn Publishing Limited, Thailand p gm. 1.Landscape architecture 2.Landscape architecture Thailand The initial impetus stemmed from my desire to refurbish the house and garden. Once I got to thinking about the renovation, I began to have the idea that a house can have more than one or two landscape designs; it could have a dozen. So I used this opportunity to create nine different designs as an example for those interested in taking these concepts to apply to their own gardens. In the construction of these works, many different types of materials and equipment were used; in selecting them I prioritised their ease of use and their ability to be recycled into subsequent designs, so that nothing would go to waste. Every single piece of material and every single tree can be reused again and again. Every step of the process was handled with meticulous care. In addition to the beauty of the whole landscape.
