SuperlativeBy CustomerThis book is an incredible work of ethnographic documentation as well as a tremendous analysis of traditional architecture. Waterson demonstrates how elements of culture; including gender; kinship; and cosmology are reflected in house design and use. The books is filled with photographs and illustrations; both by Waterson and from various collections. This book is a must for anyone interested in South-East Asia; residential architecture; or material culture.
