A propos de cet article

108p., illustrated expertly by the architect author; her two line maps, the numerous floorplan plats, and the photographs (in color, very clear) show an amazing combination of talents. Softbound in 10x8 inch colorphoto wraps, an as-new copy (despite Blake's brief ballpoint gift inscription on copyright page, signed as "Laura") that is entirely sound, clean and (otherwise) unmarked. Blake a practicing architect who is (or was) based in San Francisco. Conveniently, the city boasts a full-on Asian Art Museum, and consultation was provided by assistant curator Jeff Durham.

It includes brief historical and architectural overviews, a dozen examples of the country’s best-known buildings, and a pictorial glossary of forty Buddhist symbols commonly used in building decoration. Simply written and illustrated with maps, plans, and more than a hundred photographs the book provides an understanding of Bhutan’s rich Buddhist heritage and striking architectural style.
