The winners, announced in Bangkok recently before an audience of 700 people from 50 countries, took equal first prizes of $300,000 each.

That’s Bangkok at mid-afternoon on a Monday. Unlike in Manila, there were no roadworks or accidents or stalled cars to cause the snarl. That’s just the way it is on Bangkok streets, said our taxi driver, who showed his frustration by constantly fiddling with the channel select button on his radio.

"Sustainable construction is an attitude, a  special way of thinking–not a specific technology. Every decision one makes as an architect has a variety of consequences. The selection of a window, for example, is not only a choice of a specific type to provide a view; it involves how one controls heat and air, and shows what type of relation to the outside world one seeks.
