The study of the principal cultures of Asia and their significant buildings considering them as conscious responses to environment, social conditions, beliefs and ideologies.

ARCH3141 is one of four elective history and theory courses offered in the Bachelor of Architectural Design, examining regional and critical narratives pertaining to the making of the built environment, with particular emphasis on the genesis and transformation of design themes across time and space. ARCH3141 seeks to develop students’ abilities in the synthesis and evaluation of cultural conditions that originate in and remain central to Asia and Asian architecture through space and time, while also introducing students to historical concepts that allow for these broad and focused examinations. In effect, Asia and Asian 'Space' is viewed as continuously transforming through time.ᅠ
