"Asia-Pacific Metropolises" (MAP) was a privileged experience for all those, teachers, researchers and students, who had the chance to participate in this adventure of astonishing longevity, for nearly three decades despite the recurring reforms of architecture schools, from 1984 to 2013. This training through research organized around a one-month stay in the field, constitutes a unique architecture in the French academic landscape, which motivated a generation of teacher-researchers and oriented student classes towards the study of Asian cities.
The book aims to retrace this experience along several axes, drawing on different types of sources. To report on the experience in a didactic and in-depth manner, the book will cross several axes: 1/ a historical and geographical axis, allowing to follow the genesis and evolution of the MAP pedagogy and to approach its philosophy 2/ a pedagogical axis, to deepen each of the exercises which built this very particular approach 3/ a thematic axis evoking the different architectural, urban, landscape and territorial questions addressed in the MAP experience 4/ a geographical axis, organized by terrain, which will be based on the testimonies of former students.
