FuturArc is a quarterly magazine publication 4 issues per year that focuses on Green architecture and design, reporting on prominent projects and featuring in-depth discussions and commentaries of issues relevant to architects and industry professionals. Helming the frontline of construction market information for more than a decade, BCI Asia has been bridging the gap between design professionals and suppliers in the construction industry. In collecting information and data over the years, the company has recognised early on the severe impact of building and construction on the natural environment. Thus, in , BCI Asia started FuturArc Journal to advocate for architecture that demonstrates social responsibility and sustainability, as well as to generate discourse to heighten awareness among its research partners and clients. The Journal also has correspondents around Asia and the world to work the ground and report on projects and issues pertinent to Green building and design.

Art Radar also spoke to the curator to find out more. This time, it is an ambitious, unique and multidisciplinary exhibition that takes a first look at the complexities of the Southeast Asian region by displaying some of the most pioneering and unique works from its collections. Co-curated by Pauline J. The works included in the exhibition are drawn from the fields of design and architecture, moving images and visual arts. Contemporary works of art and design as well as historical, archival materials and architectural models are put side by side or in close proximity to each other, signalling to the audience that there is not a single centrestage. Art Radar takes a closer look at some highlighted works from the three sections. Gift of Hallam Chow,

I thank Hazel Hahn and Vimalin Rujivacharakul who suggested the theme of this special issue and who initiated these conversations on the local and the global in colonial and postcolonial Southeast Asia. This region for a long time ill-defined and whose name itself was not popularize until World War II, has been distinguished not by its cultural unity like its large neighbors of the Chinese and Indian world, but by its position at the crossroads of the main commercial routes since at least the beginning of the first millennium of the common era. Never ending processes of layering, transformations, hybridization, is probably the best way to describe its dynamic and sustainable characters. If this term is useful for thinking about the diversity of the built environment and gives a historic depth to the landscapes of the large cities of this region, it nevertheless maintains an epistemological ambiguity. It implies a linear and teleological progression towards a hybridization that intensifies as the integration of this space increases with globalization.
