Hardbound. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. First Edition. The construction of wooden houses raised on stilts to escape floods and pests is a phenomenon found in many countries of Southeast Asia, However over many centuries each country has developed its own unique tradition. Thailand is no exception and indeed each of the country's four main regions have developed their own distinctive style, making the wooden houses of Thailand among the most beautiful examples of Southeast Asian architecture, Built to a modular system, such houses could be taken down and rebuilt in new locations in an era when land was still abundant. In contrast to the superficial 'style book' this volume not only traces the history of these versatile buildings but also explains the stages in their construction, the beliefs that underlie the positioning of every architectural element and the complex ceremonies celebrating their construction. This is a new, never previously owned or read volume from our bookshop stock. 246 pp., magnificent col. photos throughout, historic b&w photos, architectural drawings. index. Size: 28 x 29 cm.
