A Guide to Traditional and Contemporary Forms
Paperback
Publication Date: 12/12/2013
This title presents a superbly illustrated introduction to world of Thai architecture, both traditional and contemporary. Packed with hundreds of glorious full-colour photographs, this book focuses on the multitude of elements and forms that go into Thai architecture - its agrarian roots, its religion and monarchy, its rich mix of foreign influences. Lively text introduces readers the whole range of Thailand's architecture - from the humble but charming field hut woven of bamboo to the splendid teak mansion built high on stilts, and from the country's magnificent temples to the vast differences in regional styles. It also explores how traditional Thai architecture has been adapted to suit contemporary aesthetics and usage.
