Abstract

This is an ambitious and, on the whole,accomplished work that examines with both richnessof detail and conceptual sophistication the politicsof representation in the architecture and urbanspace of Siam/Thailand from the mid nineteenthcentury to the present. Based on a 2003 dissertationat the University of Colorado but updated to includeevents of the last decade, the book is informed bythe author’s knowledge of both architectural theoryand practice as well as of cultural theory andhistoriography. As such, The Aesthetics of Powerrepresents a significant improvement on a previousEnglish-language work with a similar timeframe,Clarence Aasen’s Architecture of Siam: A CulturalHistory (1998), and establishes Koompong Noobanjong’spre-eminence among a new generation ofhistorically-minded architectural historians, which alsoincludes Chatri Prakitnondhakarn, whose Kanmuanglae sangkhom nai silpa satthapatayakam sayamsamai thaiprayuk chatniyom (BE 2547 [2004]) overlapsboth thematically and chronologically with the bookunder review.
权力美学:从暹罗到泰国的建筑、现代性和身份
总的来说,这是一个雄心勃勃的、完成的作品,它以丰富的细节和概念的复杂性审视了暹罗/泰国从19世纪中叶到现在的建筑和城市空间中的政治表现。这本书以2003年科罗拉多大学的一篇论文为基础,但更新了过去十年的事件,作者在建筑理论和实践以及文化理论和史学方面的知识为基础。因此,《权力的美学》代表了在类似的时间框架下,Clarence Aasen的《暹罗建筑》(Architecture of Siam)对之前的英语作品的重大改进:《文化史》(1998),并确立了Koompong Noobanjong在新一代具有历史意识的建筑史学家中的卓越地位,其中还包括Chatri Prakitnondhakarn,他的Kanmuanglae sangkhom nai silpa satthapatayakam sayamsamai thaiprayuk chatniyom (BE 2547[2004])在主题和时间上都与正在审查的书重叠。
