Introduction Stones in the Sand: The Architecture of Rajasthan, edited by Giles Tillotson,
| Title: | Introduction Stones in the Sand: The Architecture of Rajasthan, edited by Giles Tillotson, | | Author: | Tillotson, Giles | | Publication: | Marg | | Enumeration: | Vol. 52-4, p. 8-11 | | Abstract: | Apart from books on forts and palaces, the architecture of Rajasthan has rarely been studied seriously. Tourism has opened up this heritage to vast new audiences, at the same time bringing it under increasing pressure. The writer outlines the scope of the volume which covers the traditional architecture of the region's towns and cities: forts, palaces, and havelis; temples, tanks, and kunds; how they were conceived, constructed, and inhabited, and the challenges of their conservation today.
