Description



Book Synopsis




Traditional houses in the Himalayas


The region of the Himalayas and the adjoining
Tibetan plateau is known for its unique and characteristic vernacular
architecture and housing culture which is slowly but surely
disappearing.

The first part of the book analyses 21 traditional
houses in the region that respond in diverse ways to the specifics of
their location and local climate. The second part presents a comparative
study of the construction elements - walls, roof and façades - using
photographs and hand-drawn construction details.

The newly
produced scale drawings provide an excellent basis for comparative
review. Detailed plans, atmospheric photographs and informative texts
take the reader on a journey through a fascinating building culture.

  • A book about a disappearing building tradition
  • Full-scale, large-format and in some cases colored drawings
  • With a new preface and expanded bibliography



Review Quotes




"Es gibt Bücher, die erst wenn sie erschienen sind bewusst machen, wie sehr sie gefehlt haben. Das Buch "Tibetan Houses" ist so ein Buch."
Michael Buddeberg in: Preetorius Stiftung (28.04.2019), http: //www.preetoriusstiftung.de/?p=2602

"Unser Blick wurde lange Zeit auf faszinierende tibetische Klöster und Tempel gelenkt, aber nicht auf die volkstümliche Baukultur der Landbevölkerung. Diese Lücke schließt das beeindruckende Werk "Tibetische Häuser. Volkstümliche Architektur im Himalaya und Umgebung", herausgegeben von Prof. em. Peter Herrle und Anna Wozniak von der TU Berlin, indem es die in karger Landschaft gewachsene Architektur dokumentiert und dem Leser eine hoch entwickelte Baukunst zugänglich macht. [...] Die Zeichnungen machen das Buch so besonders, sie zeigen das Wesen der Häuser ohne zu abstrahieren oder idealisieren."
