In 2013 Australia officially moved to the Indo-Pacific, a region created ex-novo that expands from South America to the Gulf, from South East Asia to East Africa. The maps and the stories of the Indo-Pacific region--the social, political, economic, technological, eco-systemic, and spatial relations that define it--are currently being constructed. This book is a first attempt to draw this parafictional region, an imaginary space relentlessly becoming real, and the physical and intangible dimensions of the edifice that holds it together.

The book delves into the intricate narratives that define the region, drawing on deep-time stories, historical events, and geopolitical shifts. The establishment of a new global region is portrayed as a rare and transformative event, shaping the world's geopolitical landscape. In this context, the book emphasizes the unique role of architecture as a universal language intersecting with social, political, economic, technological, eco-systemic, and spatial aspects of the Indo-Pacific region.
