The modern Thai house : innovative design in tropical Asia / Robert Powell ; photography by Albert Lim KS. by Powell, Robert, 1942- Tokyo : Tuttle Publishing, 2012. Subjects Architecture, Domestic -- Thailand -- History -- Pictorial works. ISBN:  9780804845700 (paperback) 0804845700 (paperback) Description:  224 pages : color illustrations ; 31 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  A tremendous body of sophisticated and sensitively designed architectural work has been produced in Thailand in the first decade of the 21st century. The 25 houses in The Modern Thai House illustrate the radical new ideas coming from a dynamic younger generation of architects who are producing work comparable with and sometimes even surpassing the very best architecture in the world. Most of these architects were trained in the U.S. or U.K. and reflect not only American and European sensibilities but also affinities with their contemporaries in Asia --including Japan, China, Singapore, and Bali--all hotbeds for innovation in modern design. The houses in this book are readily accessible from Bangkok, Phuket, and Chiangmai. They reflect a wide variety of concerns and solutions, such as: sustainability; responses to climate; strategies for cooling with minimal electricity; openness versus security in a large metropolis such as Bangkok; cultural sensitivity and responsiveness, as evidenced in a "three-generation house," built for a society in which the extended family is still prevalent; and cultural memory, as in the use of elements such as pilings, verandahs, and steeply pitched roofs with large overhangs that echo traditional Thai designs.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 728.09593 Po   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 728.09593 Powell   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 728.09593 Po   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 728.09593 Po   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 728.09593 Po   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 728.09593 Po   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 728.09593 Po   Lost 06/30/2020 Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 728.09593 Po   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 728.09593 Po PAP Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
