The book's final two chapters bring these central ideas into a contemporary and highly relevant context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHuppatz’s book is a welcome addition to a growing field … [It] is hoped that viewpoints and writings on Asian Design will multiply in the coming years to create a more robust and inclusive global design history landscape. * Journal of Design History *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eModern Asian Design\u003c\/i\u003e is a rich and timely contribution to the emergent body of research on design histories beyond the West. The book expands our knowledge of modern design in Asia and provides methodological approaches to studying what are often viewed as marginal contexts in design history. * Megha Rajguru, Senior Lecturer in Art and Design History at the University of Brighton, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e                                                                                        Chapter 1: Foundations, 1700-1850                                                  -  Part I: China from China       -  Part II: Textiles from India -  Part III: Modernization, Globalization and Design  \u003cb\u003eSECTION I: PATHS TO MODERNITY, 1850s-1930s\u003c\/b\u003e  Chapter 2: Elite Paths                                                                                    - Part I: Meiji Japan: Designing a Modern State                     - Part II: Siam and Civilization - Part III: Modernizing Everyday Life in Tashio Japan  Chapter 3: Colonial Paths                                                                  - Part I: Designing the British Raj - Part II: Designing an Asian Empire  Chapter 4: Professional Paths                                                           - Part I: East Meets West - Part III: Shanghai Modernism - Part II: West Meets East  Chapter 5: Consumer Paths                                                               - Part I: The Herald of Civilization - Part II: New Patent Medicines - Part III: The Department Store  \u003cb\u003eSECTION II: ASIAN MODERNITY, 1940s-2000s\u003c\/b\u003e  Chapter 6: Postcolonial Design and the State                                 - Part I: Chandigarh - Part II: Designing the People’s Republic of China - Part III: Singapore   Chapter 7: Design and Development                                                - Part I: From Domestic Appliances to Digital Lifestyles - Part II: Design for Development  Chapter 8: The Design Professional                                      - Part I: Kenji Ekuan - Part II: Minnette de Silva - Part III: Kan Tai-Keung   Chapter 9: Globalization and Consuming Asian Design                              - Part I: Rebranding banks in Hong Kong  - Part II: Asian lifestyle brands  \u003cb\u003eConclusion\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49408818905431,"sku":"9781474296779","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781474296779.jpg?v=1730504325","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/modern-asian-design-cultural-histories-of-design-9781474296779","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
