Abstract
The concluding chapter recapitulates the notions, main arguments and architectural phenomena that are testified to, made and analysed in the previous chapters and integrates them with a manifesto of discoursing contemporary Asian architectural history and theory. The book readdresses the struggle against the longstanding ideological preoccupation of Asia’s state as heteroglossia. As a central conclusion, when Asia is read as a unique text that is discoursed in a world context, its architecture needs to be properly framed with theorisations, whilst the notions that theorise its architectural phenomena are identified and fitted into the processes of Asianisation.
