Air-Conditioned Nation Revisited

Cover design for Cherian George’s Air-Conditioned Nation Revisited, an anthology of essays on Singapore’s politics of comfort and control. Published on the 20th anniversary of the writer’s influential collection Singapore: The Air-Conditioned Nation (2000), the essays offer critical reflections on continuity and change in the city-state’s unique political culture. The cover’s setting of the title recalls the precipitous placement of air-conditioning units on Singapore’s high-rise housing. Year: 2020
