应AA Asia主席林少伟先生之邀，支文军主编赴新加坡参加于12月6日至12月9日举行的2006年AA Asia论坛，论坛的主题为“亚洲发现亚洲”。正如论坛的新闻稿所称，历史而言，亚洲不必发现亚洲。过去的亚洲已然是一个活跃的中心，贸易往来频仍，文化关联紧密。可是，这一网络日后为广泛的欧洲殖民统治所切断。现在，我们似乎并不知晓，或是并不希望知晓我们邻邦的生机勃勃的发展。主流体制性的文化安排之外，目前，亚洲地域少有严肃的跨国职业知识与合作。“亚洲发现亚洲：2006年AA Asia论坛”即意在亚洲人间开拓批判话语，拓宽对亚洲展开的创意与活力的理解。

支主编将于12月8日的国家陈述单元作题为《中国建筑：现状与未来》的主题发言。与支同在此单元的Minsuk Cho、古谷诚章（FURUYA, Nobuaki）和Suneet Paul则将分别报告韩国、日本和印度建筑的“现状与将来”。大舍建筑的陈屹峰建筑师亦出席此次论坛，并于12月7日下午的青年建筑师单元介绍其在中国的实践。敬请期待后续报道。

Asia discovers Asia: AA Asia Symposium
Organised by: AA Asia

Date: 06 December 2006 - 09 December 2006
Venue: Hotel Gallery, 2/F
Locality: Singapore
 

Historically, there was no need for Asia to discover Asia. Asia was already a lively centre 
of activity, bustling with trade and cultural connections. This web was however later 
severed by extensive European colonization. We do not seem to know or wish to know 
about the dynamic development in neighboring countries. There is presently little 
serious inter-country professional  knowledge and  collaboration in the Asian region 
outside the mainstream institutional  cultural  arrangements.  Asia Discovers Asia: AA 
Asia Symposium 2006 aims to advance more critical discourses and broadening
the understanding of the evolving dynamism and creativity among Asians.
