Viac o knihe
Exploring the often-overlooked classic Indian texts and the Vaastupurusha Mandala, the book presents innovative concepts of town organization that predate European urbanism. It makes these ideas accessible to students in architecture, landscape, and urban planning through case studies of Hindu temple towns in India. The author emphasizes the formal abstraction of the Mandala, shifting the discussion towards socio-ecological design thinking. This approach encourages revising traditional models to better address contemporary urbanism and ecological challenges in a changing climate.
