Courtyard Houses of India

Bag om Courtyard Houses of India

- Extensive documentation of courtyard houses, both traditional and contemporary- More than a thousand images, drawings, plans and maps- Overview according to climate, geography, philosophy and religionIndian architecture is not about an object in space; instead it integrates space within the object where the built and the unbuilt become counterpoints to vitalize each other. This engulfed void known as the courtyard lies at the genesis of urban dwellings in India. In this book the author traces the metaphysical, mythical, socio-cultural, environmental and spatial roles of the courtyard in the domestic architecture of India - from early civilization and Vedic times to Islamic and colonial influences.

Courtyard Houses of India documents, analyzes and infers the attributes and manifestations of traditional courtyard houses and examines the diverse interpretations of those as applied in contemporary homes.
