Asian architecture plays with the same contrasts as life in these countries. New technologies and ancient traditions, dizzying skyscrapers and medieval palaces of refined beauty: everything is impressive and captivating at first glance. It's not for nothing that they say the 21st century is the century of Asia, for it is here that the transition from the past to the future takes place.
