N2  - The "Asian Architecture" provides historical and sociological background required for building in Asia, such as Feng Shui, holes in building structures for flying dragons and abodes for spirits. It also presents the transformation of Asian architecture as diverse cultures move towards a synthesis of ideas and styles reconciling tradition and modernity. Significantly, it highlights the work of remarkable and emerging architects like Herzog and Meuran's National Stadium in Beijing, Adrian Smith's Burj Khalifa in Dubai, and Tezuka Architects' Woods of Net.
