Abstract: Architecture Asia is the official journal of the Architects Regional Council Asia (ARCASIA). Since 2020, when the Architectural Society of China (ASC) and Tongji University undertook the editing work as the journal’s co-publishers, the journal has been dedicated to transforming from a traditional printed publication to a new media platform. The Tongji editorial team has built an eco-chain of “project display + academic discussion” through various approaches, including publications and forums, to reveal contemporary architectural developments in Asia. This paper covers the revision process of the journal, as well as details about the first Architecture Asia forum, the Thailand Contemporary Architecture Forum, with the hope of advancing new models to promote regional interaction between ARCASIA member institutes to improve the international influence of young Asian architects, and to enhance professional communications between Asia and the world.
