Regular price RM59.17 MYR
Unit price
per

Southeast Asian architecture through a cultural lens.

If you're intrigued by how a region's culture can shape its architecture, "The Living House" offers a fascinating journey through the homes of South-East Asia. It champions the idea that these structures are not just buildings but are also a reflection of the lives and traditions of the people who inhabit them. This book is a beautiful convergence of anthropology and design, a narrative with the power to make you see buildings as breathing embodiments of culture.
