This manuscript arose out of necessity as it was found that the same problems of terminology were still being experienced by students during the course of lectures in the School of Architecture at the University of Port Elizabeth. A useful reference handbook for students and workers in the fields of historical restoration, built form and culture studies. Numerous illustrations - some covering beehive architecture, cylinder architecture, mat architecture, Sotho architecture, South Ndebele architecture, and wattle and daub construction, amongst others. Section 2 covers patterns of Victoriana. Softcover, 295 pages. (Source: Quagga Books) | |
