The Missing Piece of South East Asian ArchitectureBy Tom MThe fact that this book exists came as a very pleasant surprise.Mr Tettonis photographic skills are a well known to readers of other photoraphic books covering Southeast Asian architectual styles and the photographs in this book definitely will not disappoint his fans.However. what sets this book apart is the authors collective ability to tell a story and show us the blending of the indiginous. Chinese and French styles (and provincial variations within Vietnam) and give the reader a window into the unique feel of Vietnamese architecture and its place in the world of tropical architecture (there really are tropical houses in Asia that are not in Bali).1 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

Western Expats Houses in VietnamBy MateoThis book features little that is actually Vietnamese. What you will find here are luxurious homes built by millionaire Western expats and Westernized Vietnamese--homes that it can be fairly said are Vietnamese only insofar as they happen to be located in Vietnam. In fact. the book contains absolutely no information about Vietnamese style as interpreted and produced by the Vietnamese themselves! As one of the few books on Vietnamese aesthetics--and the only on architecture or interior design--that seem currently to be available. this book is a terrible let-down. and not worth the money. Those interested in authentic Vietnamese style would ironically do better by turning to illustrated travel guides.
