    Content: Die Himalaya-Region und das angrenzende tibetanische Plateau zeichnen sich durch eine sehr eigenständige, traditionelle Wohnkultur aus, die heute im Verschwinden begriffen ist. Das Buch dokumentiert detailliert 19 Wohnhäuser aus verschiedenen Ländern der Himalaya-Region, wie etwa unterschiedliche Provinzen Chinas, Tibet, Indien und Bhutan. Die Häuser zeugen von einer großen Diversität, geprägt durch die jeweilige Lage, das entsprechende Klima und die Tradition. Gleichzeitig weisen eine Reihe von Charakteristika auf die spezifische Region hin. In einem zweiten Teil werden die verschiedenen konstruktiven Elemente, wie etwa die Mauer, das Dach und die Fassade vergleichend dokumentiert. Durch die neu angelegten, maßstäblichen Zeichnungen bildet das Buch eine hervorragende vergleichende Analyse.
    Content: The region of the Himalayas and the adjoining Tibetan plateau is known for its unique and characteristic vernacular architecture and housing culture which is slowly but surely disappearing. The first part of the book analyses 19 traditional houses in the region that respond in diverse ways to the specifics of their location and local climate. The second part presents a comparative study of the construction elements – walls, roof and façades – using photographs and hand-drawn construction details. The newly produced scale drawings provide an excellent basis for comparative review. Detailed plans, atmospheric photographs and informative texts take the reader on a journey through a fascinating building culture.
