About This Book
"Landscape and architectural designer Made Wijaya draws on his photographic archives, compiled over the past 30 years, to present a visual study of Balinese architecture: its origins, elements, variations and vagaries.".
"The book opens with an overview of Balinese architecture in its human context - the village. It then looks at the basic elements of Balinese architecture - the walled courtyard and the pavilion. Further chapters examine building materials, the Balinese love of ornamentation and the architectural hybrids resulting from other ethnic influences. Progressing through the book, Bali's intricate built landscape becomes legible and even more surprising.".
"With a sharp eye for trends, and passionate opinions about how Balinese design principles should be applied, Wijaya enhances his survey of traditional Balinese architecture with examples of its adaptation in modern private houses and boutique hotels on the island.
Besides Wijaya's own archival photographs, the book is illustrated with the work of internationally acclaimed artists : specialist photographers including Tim Street-Porter and Rio Helmi; and drawings by Chang Huai-Yan, Deni Chung and Bruce Granquist."--BOOK JACKET.
