Description:This book documents an indigenous building technique called the kath-khuni construction prevalent in Himachal Pradesh, India.

These building practices reflect synthesis of material and environmental constraints with social and cultural beliefs and rituals. This book illustrates the role of indigenous building traditions in a dual sense: architecture as an outcome of specific material assemblies to fulfil specific functional purposes and architecture as a process to bind together people, places and resources in order to sustain particular cultural norms, beliefs and values.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
