Andrew Bromberg, a renowned architect and designer with global architecture and design practice Aedas, has a unique perspective on urban landscapes. Born and raised in the majestic Rocky Mountains of the United States, he now calls Asia his home, where he continues to shape the world's skyline. Bromberg's vision goes beyond mere buildings; he sees cities as intricate human-made landscapes shaped by social and economic forces, just as nature's erosions, accretions, uplifts, and explosions shape the natural world.

Living in the vibrant city of Hong Kong, Bromberg has been inspired by the harmonious blend of natural and human-made structures. He has drawn upon his deep understanding of nature and his knowledge of tectonic forces, both natural and human, to create his architectural masterpieces.

In a captivating interview with architecture critic Aaron Betsky, Bromberg shares his insights on how he visualizes his settings and locates his designs within the complex and dynamic contexts in which they appear. Betsky takes us on a journey through major Asian cities, including Singapore and Guangzhou, as Bromberg reveals his creative process. Through a largely visual presentation of over twenty of Bromberg's most exciting recent projects across Asia and the Middle East, we gain a glimpse into his visionary approach to urban design.

Together, these projects form a monograph/manifesto that offers a singular vision for the cities that will shape our future world. Bromberg's designs showcase a blend of innovation, sustainability, and human connection, reflecting the changing needs and aspirations of cities in the 21st century.

As we navigate the rapidly evolving urban landscape, Andrew Bromberg's work serves as a reminder of the power of design to create cities that are not only functional but also inspiring and sustainable. His vision for the future of cities is a testament to his ability to blend the natural and human-made worlds, creating a harmonious and thriving environment for all.
