Binding tight. 203pp The houses presented here are, at any rate, performative. The buildings' performances in this sense refer to their ability to modify what they inherit, both in terms of their programm. atic functions and their own design directions. This modification includes taking a stand against what the architects, as well as the inhabitants, foresee. In what is not given, the task of these houses is thus to discover what might possibly be. It is neither resistance nor resignation, but an ability for re-articulation and re-interpretation in order for these houses to continually construct a performative environment through which the inhabitants can envisage their lives.

Hardcover in Dustjacket. Condición: FINE. ARCHITECTURE -A detailed, profusely illustrated survey of Thai architecture with its many styles and forms.This detailed, magnificently illustrated survey shows how Thai architecture has evolved over the years to become a significant cultural art form. Beginning with a history of the country and its wide cultural influences, it goes on to describe and illustrate a huge range of structures, from Thai houses to elaborate temples and even crematoriums. It concludes with a look at contemporary Thai architecture and how traditional architecture practices have been adapted to suit modern needs.Thailand's architecture comes alive in this magnificently illustrated volume, the most comprehensive book on the subject yet published, exploring every genre from houses and farm huts to temples, palaces, and modern buildings. It is the first major book to focus on the myriad elements that make Thai architecture so rich in beauty and meaning. With hundreds of images by leading photographers, this is an accessible, inspirational source book for designers, architects, and everyone interested in Southeast Asian culture.The book is a collaboration between leading architect Nithi Sthapitanonda, who did the drawings, photographs, and research support, and writer Brian Mertens, who did the writing, main research, and many photos. 800+ illustrations in color and black and white.A comprehensive, illustrated survey by renowned Thai architect Nithi SathÄpitÄnonÂand writerÂBrian Mertens. It explores the full spectrum of Thai buildings from ancient times to modern adaptations.ÂTraditional FormsTraditional Thai architecture, particularly residential and religious structures, is heavily influenced by the natural environment (specifically the monsoon climate and flood plains) and Theravada Buddhist beliefs. Raised Foundations: A key characteristic is building structures onÂstiltsÂto protect against flooding, allow for air circulation, and deter wild animals. The space underneath is often a functional area. Steep, Multi-Tiered Roofs: Temple and palace roofs are steeply pitched with multiple, overlapping tiers to efficiently deflect heavy rainfall. This design also creates a sense of lightness and grandeur and is often topped withÂchofa, bird-like finials. Natural Materials: Traditional houses often use locally sourced materials likeÂwoodÂandÂbamboo, assembled with intricate rope systems rather than iron nails. Symbolism and Ornamentation: Religious buildings feature rich ornamentation with intricate wood carvings, stucco work, and glass mosaics. These designs often depict mythological figures (nagas, garudas) and scenes from Buddhist cosmology, reflecting a deep spiritual meaning and social hierarchy. Regional Variations: Styles differ across regions, with northern Thailand (Lan Na style) featuring roofs that are very pointed and flare outwards, while central Thai architecture has a more uniform, royal-influenced style.ÂContemporary AdaptationsModern Thai architecture represents a fusion of traditional wisdom and contemporary needs, often balancing globalisation with local identity. Blending Tradition with Modernity: Contemporary architects often incorporate traditional elements like extended eaves (for sun and rain protection), open floor plans, and courtyards to suit the climate, but use modern materials like steel and concrete. Sustainability and Climate Control: Modern designs often incorporate eco-friendly materials and passive cooling strategies (natural ventilation, large overhangs) to reduce reliance on air conditioning, a concept rooted in traditional practices. Notable Structures: Modern architectural landmarks that demonstrate the blending of styles include the Jim Thompson House (a traditional house reassembled in an urban setting) and contemporary high-rises like the MahaNakhon building in Bangkok, known for its pixelated appearance.ÂThe book highlights how Thai architecture, in all its forms, is a testament to the country's rich culture, history, and ability to adapt to a changing world while preserving core aesthetic principles.Note: Over standard size and weight. pp. 256 #030226 Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 2006 Thames & Hudson large format hardcover edition. Light reading wear, slight creasing to edge of dustjacket else very good condition. From the dustjacket: A Guide to Traditional and Contemporary FormsPhotographs by Michael Freeman, Luca Invernizzi Tettoni, Robert McLeod and Teerawat Winyarat This book focuses on the multitude of elements and forms that go into Thai architecture. It is a guide to aesthetics that also explores the underlying meanings of forms.All the important features of Thai culture - its agrarian roots, its religion and monarchy, its rich mix of foreign influences - are embodied in buildings. Consequently, this book also illuminates Thai tradition and history. Lively text and hundreds of photographs and illustrations explore Thailand's indigenous house architecture, from the humble but charming field hut woven of bamboo to the splendid teak mansion built high on stilts. Religious architecture, the product of centuries of influences from all over Asia and the world, is viewed in terms of the special features and functions of each building in the temple compound. Regional stylistic variations are also presented. There are chapters devoted to the Grand Palace; the elements and ornamentation of palaces and temples; and architecture shaped by immigrants and by foreign tradition. Some topics here are little covered elsewhere: Thailand's Islamic architecture, shophouses, Siamese-style bonsai gardening, courtyard walls and gates, and ornament such as glass mosaic. Finally, the authors look at today's innovative adaptation of traditional Thai forms in modern architecture. Architecture of Thailand is an inspirational source book for architects, heritage conservationists and designers, as well as other enthusiasts, in the hope that the country's architectural riches will survive and flourish.…
