Description
Traditional houses in the Himalayas
The region of the Himalayas and the adjoining
Tibetan plateau is known for its unique and characteristic vernacular
architecture and housing culture which is slowly but surely
disappearing.
The first part of the book analyses 21 traditional
houses in the region that respond in diverse ways to the specifics of
their location and local climate. The second part presents a comparative
study of the construction elements - walls, roof and façades - using
photographs and hand-drawn construction details.
The newly
produced scale drawings provide an excellent basis for comparative
review. Detailed plans, atmospheric photographs and informative texts
take the reader on a journey through a fascinating building culture.
- A book about a disappearing building tradition
- Full-scale, large-format and in some cases colored drawings
- With a new preface and expanded bibliography
