houses and other types of buildings in the region are negotiating the traditional aesthetics, material assemblies, and construction techniques of local structures with the simple forms, functional layouts, and minimal ornamentation that typically characterise modern design. Despite varying programmatic and aesthetic qualities, the houses contained in this volume are no exception.
