*** Thai Style is beautifully exotic and enticing*** Thai Style is a book for the eye, as well as those interested in better understanding the merging of Asian cultures. This book is filled with great compilation of gorgeous photos within every chapter and every subject. You�ll see everything from a private collection of coconut scrapers and lawn temples to ornately built houses (and palaces) and lavish swimming pools. The photos are clean, professionally shot, and well suited for the text that they accompany.For the architecture student, professor, interior decorator, c.

This is one of my favorite books and i recommend it to anyone who appriciates art.. Thai Style K. Lipio Very nicely done, a book that gives a look into the most interesting houses in Thailand, how they got built, designed and decorated. To me, Thailand is the place where the word " Exotic" comes alive and shows intself best. And these wonderful houses shows a part of why Thailand is a fascinating place for Westerners to visit and live. Rich colors mixed with beautiful porcelain pieces, wood carvings, lacquer work that come alive in one room, the mixture of the East and the West that blends itself into elegance.
Useful measured drawings are featured in the Architectural Notebook, a final section.. It is followed by a photographic essay which isolates elements of Thai style, from traditional objects and art forms to handicrafts and street art.Architecture and interiors are treated in four chapters--Traditions, Traditions Adapted, Foreign Influences and Tropical Modern. It is a style that can be found in rustic country homes or chic Bangkok residences elegantly furnished with antiques and family heirlooms. It may be reflected in a number of unique and historic houses which preserve the best of the past, in unmistakably contemporary interiors where old and new sit comfortably side by side, in traditional structures revamped for modern living, and in lush tropical garden settings and seaside resorts.The over 370 color photographs by Luca Invernizzi Tettoni present a luminous vision of this distinctive style. A concise introduction by author William Warren places Thai design in context and adds another dimension to our understanding of Thai culture. That special style that defines a culture is born of many elements. Thai style, so vividly revealed in its architecture and interiors, is the product of a distinctive landscape, a skillful use of varied influences, and a history unique among the peoples of Southeast Asia
