Our journey through South India introduced us to a language of building that is completely characteristic of its people, their nature of living and the environment. The tectonics of the architecture was inextricable from culture, narratives, life and living. This book on Traditional Architecture of South Indian focuses on the rationale, the proportions, the light, the shade, the texture and experience of materiality rather than the details of embellishments measured to the exactitude of construction. The method of study, documentation and representation allows one to sensually experience the craft and skill at use and learn from it without needing to replicate it.
