Water Architecture in South Asia: A Study of Types, Developments and Meanings: Studies in Asian Art and Archaeology, cartea 24
Autor Julia Hegewalden Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 noi 2001
Five types of water structures are identified. Their development is traced from simple to more complex forms, considering how these accommodate secular and religious functions, and present expressions of sacred and royal authority.
This publication is the first reference work on the subject. Many of the structures discussed and illustrated here have never been published before. Its comprehensive approach will have a wide relevance for other South Asian disciplines.

Recenzii
"...a
systematic
investigation,
a
complete
and
exhaustive
treatment
of
a
subject
which,
until
now,
has
only
been
treated
in
a
partial,
framentary
manner
or
has
been
restricted
to
smaller
geographical
areas
than
that
covered
by
this
book."
