The Tropical Asian House

Format: Hardback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £17.00
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

A selection of 27 outstanding contemporary houses from South East Asia; a culturally-rich region which has seen in recent years some of the world's most dynamic architectural development. Fom Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, India and Sri Lanka, this selection represents the work of talented architects including Geoffrey Bawa and Charles Correa, as well as others who are searching for their own cultural imprint. The interior and exterior of each house is shown. Each project is described and analysed by the author who focuses his instinctive response to each house in its particular geographical context The cultural influences affecting the organization of spaces are identified together with a study of how tradition, religion, Western ideas and the forces of globalization fuse together to produce a distinctive contemporary tropical architecture.
