Faster, higher, longer and older: there's no doubt Asia plays the one-upmanship game when it comes to architectural statements.

It's a tough call, making a list of the top 10 architectural statements in Asia. You could go crazy on weird shopping malls or kooky skyscrapers, or totally old-school with a list of heroic monuments and temples.

I've earmarked some of the newest, such as Shanghai Tower and Singapore's Gardens by the Bay, and sought balance with some of the oldest and (in my eyes) most beautiful, such as Indonesia's Borobodur and the Bibi-Khanym Mosque in Uzbekistan.
