Bedmar and Shi Architects: Romancing the Tropics
  ![Bedmar and Shi Architects: Romancing the Tropics<br> <br>]()
Foreword by Kerry Hill. Introduction by Geoffrey London. Essay by Ernesto Bedmar. Interview by Erwin Viray.
Ernesto Bedmar and Patti Shi's firm, Bedmar and Shi, based in the Garden City of Singapore, bustles with a multicultural mix of personalities from all over the world (beginning with Bedmar, who is Argentinian), and its portfolio incorporates a wide range of architectural, conservation, landscape and interior designs. Its partners have a singular desire to explore the relationships of buildings and nature with particular emphasis on regional influence. The timeless beauty and exotic mysticism of their work has developed from what James Gunn, writing in the Architectural Review, has called "a serious attempt to understand the relevance of tradition to our own lives," drawing "freely upon diverse precedents and marrying them to a generous perception of the potential of Modernism." Their projects extend from Lhasa, Tibet, and Delhi, India, to Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, New Zealand, London and New York, each one fresh and inescapably sublime.
