The Malay House Malaysia's Indigenous Shelter System 1987 Lim Jee Yuan PB Good

Institut Masyarakat, 1987. Large illustrated paperback of The Malay House: Rediscovering Malaysia's Indigenous Shelter System by Lim Jee Yuan.

"This book first aims to create a better understanding of and to renew confidence in the traditional Malay house--a house that owes little or nothing to self-conscious design. A house designed and built by the users themselves--the Malays in Malaysia--according to their own needs and with a good understanding of nature and environment, incorporating and reflecting their way of life and culture."

"It is a near-perfect houseform which is appropriate to local climatic conditions and expresses the way of life of its inhabitants"

Good condition. Faint spotting to the top of the page block. Previous owner's name inside the front cover. Binding very strong and interior pages crisp and clean. Solid book with shelf wear.
