| Author: |
| Edition Year: 1987 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Arts and Architecture |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is about Bugaku. It can be said that the indigenous culture of Japan was formulated during the Heian period. Previously during the Nara period, many aspects of Japanese culture, such as dress, handicrafts, architecture and ritual were imported and copied from the Asian continent. Not until the Heian period did Japan begin to develop its own cultural identity. The styles of costumes for Bugaku were also introduced to Japan in the Nara period. These gradually changed during the Heian period to resemble the dress of the court nobility. By the mid-Heian period, consume style had been formalized and fully integrated into the Japanese cultural traditions, to remain unchanged to day. |

| Title: Contemporary Indian: Architecture After the Masters |
| Author: Vikram Bhatt and Peter Scriver |
| Edition Year: 1990 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Arts and Architecture |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is about Indian architecture. Indian architecture today faces an unprecedented challenge to accommodate the disparate realities of an agrarian economy, an increasingly urbanized middle class and an exploding population. All segments of this population need places to live and work and to provide them is a daunting task. The dimensions of the task can truly be gauged when one realizes that India invests more in new construction today than all the Arab nations together at the height of their prosperity. It surveys the current scene, assessing the nature of the challenge and analyzing how it is being met. |

| Title: Crossing Boundaries: The Art of Lee Waisler |
| Author: John Hollander, Gayatri Patnaik, Arturo Schwarz and Other |
| Edition Year: 2002 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Arts and Architecture |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is about Art of Lee Waisler. Lee Wailser addresses the multiplicity of forms, subjects and concepts that has become a part our vernacular in the present day by making his viewer aware of pre-existing links among diverse entities. Deeply conscious of post-modern sensibilities while incorporating Eastern influences into his work, Waisler combines numerous visual and philosophical elements into his life and art and renders them distinctly relevant to questions of identity and humanity. On a continuous artistic trek toward resolving these questions, Lee Wailser invites his audience, whether in a museum or on the street, to enjoy the convergence of the spiritual, the cerebral and the aesthetic. Remaining faithful to his inner model, he gives us a work of rough elegance, heart-rending purity and balanced harmony. |

| Author: |
| Edition Year: 1967 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Arts and Architecture |
| Language: English |
| Translatedby: Irene and Harold Meek |
| Abstract: This book presents a bewildering picture. Wholesalers and retailers offer us an enticing array of wares. No year passes in which dozens of new designs are not created and put into production, in which new fashionable are not brought on to the market with a flourish. One season the fashions are not brought on to the market with a flourish. One season the fashionable wood will be elm, only to be ousted by teak a season later. The proud possessor of lamps made from Danish glass will find himself gazing enviously at Japanese paper lamp-shades displayed in the store windows and looking every bit as desirable. In one and the same breath architects tell us that we should have an open hearth in the living room and separate living and dining areas. No sooner have we become attuned to the all white enamel kitchen that the trend changes to pastel, then black to wood veneers. |

| Title: European Calcutta: Images and Recollections of a Bygone Era |
| Author: Dr. Dhrubajyoti Banerjea |
| Edition Year: 2005 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Arts and Architecture |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is about Calcutta. There is no conclusive evidence as to how old Calcutta is. Investigations by geologists and scientists in other disciplines over the years have pointed to the possibility of Calcutta and lower Bengal having been hill stations. An oyster bed discovered at the very heart of the modern city in its turn pointed to yet another possibility. A committee of scientists, who conducted a series of bore hole operations in the vicinity of Calcutta between December 1835 and 1840, reached significant conclusions recorded by Henry F. Branford. There appears every reasons for believing that the beds traversed, from top to bottom of the bore, hand been deposited either by fresh water or in the neighbored of an estuary.
