The Traditional Architecture of the Kathmandu Valley

This book is a result of several years research by the author during his stay in Nepal as a German volunteer assigned to the Building Department (Housing and Physical Department) of Nepal Government. It is the study of the group of buildings in the Kathmandu valley best described as ‘traditional Nepalese style’…outlines the religious as well as public and private buildings along with measurements and linedrawn sketches. The text gives a good and informative account of the architecture collected from diverse sources, and from keen observations of monuments whilst drawing.
