22 x 29 cm / 142 pg The architecture of Indonesia reflects both the cultural diversity of the region and its rich historical inheritance. The wide range of vernacular styles is the legacy of an Austronesian architectural tradition characterised by wooden pile dwellings, high pitched roofs and extended roof ridges. The great Hindu Buddhist temples of Java, on the other hand, share an Indian ancestry, though indigenous influences have led to the creation of a distinctly Indonesian style of monumental architecture. Mosques and other Islamic structures similarly betray a mixture of local and exotic elements, while the Dutch incorporated many Indonesian features into the architecture of their native Netherlands to produce an eclectic synthesis of Eastern and western forms . Today new opportunities are arising for the re-establishment of a truly Indonesian architecture, combining traditional forms and aesthetics with modern building materials and construction techniques.
