Résumé en anglais

To the people of East Asia, modern development has been the realization of Western views of man and nature over the traditional environment which was built based on totally different cultural values. Most urban areas of East Asian cities are already dominated by modern development, therefore, traditional artifacts and edifices are left as segregated islands of heritage. This paper aims to identify the attitude of development that can be learned from traditionally built heritages of East Asia as opposed to modern development. The hope is that, based on learning from traditional development, which is based on organic view of the world, we can re-direct our future development in a more balanced manner. It seems obvious that the attitude of modern development, which is based on mechanic view of the world, needs to be critically revised, such that a more balanced approach between a mechanic and an organic attitude is attained.
