New Architecture in the Emerging World: Projects by Andrew Bromberg, Aedas

The Asian boom of the last decade created an unprecedented arena for architectural adventure and experimentation, an environment in which Andrew Bromberg immersed himself and thrived. Aedas was at the epicenter of this ferment, in part due to its significant presence in Hong Kong preceding the boom, and then in large part due to the furious energy and passion that Bromberg brought to the firm when he joined in 2002.

New Architecture in the Emerging World chronicles the diverse range of projects designed by Andrew Bromberg for Aedas between 2002 and 2010. It highlights the exceptional design versatility and ingenuity Bromberg displayed in order to address Asia’s extremely varied clients, sites, architectural programmes, schedules and cultural parameters.

In tracing the intertwined fortunes of Bromberg, Aedas and the Asian continent at a time when the world’s economic centre of gravity appeared, at least for a while, to have permanently tilted to the east, New Architecture in the Emerging World provides an unparalleled survey of the phantasmagorical experience it turned out to be.
