Hardcover in pictorial paper. 87 pp. Includes full-color and black-and-white reproductions of photographs, illustrative figures, and endpaper maps. From the back panel: "'Images of Asia' offers a range of titles covering aspects of life and culture in East Asia. Each book in the series combines an introductory text, written for the non-specialist reader by an authority on the subject, with extensive illustrations both in colour and black-and-white." This volume acts as an introduction to Chinese housing with discussions of the main differences between Northern and Southern Chinese domestic architecture and design, the techniques and materials used, motifs and aesthetics, and most importantly, the rich folk beliefs that inform much of the architectural choices.
