"situated geographically between India and Tibet, Nepal is the meeting point of both Indian and Chinese cultures. While generally Indian culture may be said to dominate, the fact that the country also has a long history of intercultural exchange with Tibet cannot be overlooked. In the three cities of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhadgaon which are located in the Kathmandu Valley, it is possible to see many examples of medieval architecture preserved in ordinary structures in the streets of the towns, but it is Darbar (the palaces) with their pagoda-style temples towering above all else, that best perpetuate the traditional style of architecture of dwelling place and temple." (Preface). Beautifully illustrated with in-text b/w reproductions of photographs, drawings and tables, forty plates of color and b/w photographs, up to five on each plate, depicting the unique style of architecture, and twenty-four plates, six of them folding, with architectural plans and drawings.
