Lorraine Justice (Head of the School of Design at Hong Kong Polytecnic U) recommended this book to me back in late June. I just started it about a week ago. It’s very interesting and it’s a pretty quick read in spite of the depth of the subject matter.
BTW, another book that comes highly recommended by a designer with considerable experience working in Asia over the last 15 years is East Asia: Tradition and Transformation by John K. Fairbank, Edwin O. Reischauer & Albert M. Craig. It’s available on Amazon and BN.
