Architecture of Bali (paperback edition)

Acclaimed landscape and architectural designer Made Wijaya draws on his photographic archives to present a visual study of Balinese architecture: its origins, elements, variations and vagaries. The book gives an overview of Balinese architecture in its human context—the village. It then looks at the basic elements of local architecture—the walled courtyard and the pavilion. Further chapters examine building materials, ornamentation and the architectural hybrids resulting from other ethnic influences.
Wijaya also examines how Balinese architecture has been incorporated in modern private houses and boutique hotels in Bali. Illustrated with over 630 photographs, this fascinating book on Balinese ethnic architecture—whose enduring influence continues to be felt far beyond the shores of this enchanting island—is both an authoritative compendium for serious architects and designers as well as an entertaining yet insightful study of the subject.
