Abstract
This chapter focuses on the temperament of cross-fertilisation in Asian architecture and urbanism in terms of postcoloniality, applied intellectual and epistemological bases, and cultural-political dynamics that can be contextualised by a notion of being non-native natives in Asia. As a crucial concern with all these features of the Asian built world discourse, the chapter questions how glocalisation departs from the box of universalisation for adapting contemporary Asian situations.
