Abstract

Overturning assumptions that nonwestern architecture has been static over time, new scholar ship focused on colonial and postcolonial architecture and urbanism and on nonwestern modernism has made a significant contribution to our understanding of the history of architecture. Muchmore, however, remains to be done. Comparative studies of colonialism, especially between empires, attention to innovation outside Europe and the English-speaking world and more consideration of memory and migration are among the most exciting possible new directions.

Key words： Architecture; Architectural history; Colonial; Postcolonial; Modern; Globalization
