This has led to great diversification in Chinese vernacular dwellings, rarely seen in the architecture of the world and reflecting a wide variety of different natural and cultural environments. In this illustrated introduction Shan Deqi explores a representative selection of traditional Chinese dwellings, considering their architecture, environmental setting and the lifestyles and customs of the people who inhabit these distinctive homes and have contributed to their development. 54087 Architecture Domestic China 288016 Vernacular architecture China 89516 Dwellings China 112622 Housing China Zhongguo mi ju. 293334 Shan Deqi 276330 lcc 6 Updated edition NA7448 General Z4313 2011 241814 241814 0 0 lcc 0 0 4 4 33 2013-11-13 Amazon 19.94 518866 0 General NA7448 Z4313 2011 91000000035485 2016-05-27 00:00:00 1 29.94 2013-11-13 6
