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