Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Traditional Architecture, Which Has Evolved In Harmony With The Natural Environment And The Rhythms Of A Daily Life Far Removed From Industrialized Society, Is Currently Inspiring An Awakening Of Interest Throughout The World. Nowhere Is More Deserving Of This Attention Than The Islands Of The Indonesian Archipelago, Whose Wide Range Of Peoples And Terrain Have Produced The Most Extraordinary Vernacular Building.Characteristic Of Many Indonesian Architectural Styles Are Village Houses Raised On Stilts, High Above Monsoon Muds And Malarial Mosquitoes, Where They Benefit From Cooling Breezes. Walls, Window Frames, Posts And Pillars Are Often Beautifully Carved And Painted With Images Of Guardian Spirits And Ancestors, Animal And Human Figures, Spirals, And Floral And Geometric Patterning. Majestic Roofs Can Dwarf The Living Accommodation; Their Sweeping Slopes Dispel Tropical Rainwater, And Their Overhanging Caves Offer Shade From The Sun. Construction With Pegs And Wedges Instead Of Nails Affords Buildings Both The Strength And The Flexibility Needed To Withstand Earthquakes And Yet Be Easily Dismantled And Transported To A New Location. In Many Communities The House Is Regarded As A Spiritual, Almost Corporeal Entity, Whose Construction Involves Many Rituals And Superstitions. It Forms The Focal Point For A Villagers Sense Of Community, Ancestry And Social Standing.Barry Dawson And John Gillows Firsthand Research Has Provided The Basis For This Detailed Examination Of Indonesian Vernacular Building, Which Analyses The Predominant Types Of Each Island, And How They Relate To The Architectural Needs Of The Present And Future. Historical Photographs, Drawings And Nearly 200 Dazzling Photographs Of Villages, Houses, Barns, Meeting Halls, Places Of Worship And Domestic Interiors, Vividly Illustrate The Enormous Diversity Of Traditional Styles To Be Found Throughout The Islands. From The Dignity And Grandeur Of The Minangkabau Houses Of Sumatra To The Imposing Solidity Of The Dayak Communal Longhouses, Javas Rich Legacy Of Hindubuddhism Or The Humble 'Haystack' Houses Of The Atoni Of Timor, The Astounding Vernacular Architecture Of Indonesia Is Thoroughly And Magnificently Documented.
