Salma Samar Damluji Knihy

Focusing on the architecture of Yemen, this book presents an in-depth examination of the region's distinctive structures. The revised edition features drawings and documentation from construction and restoration projects conducted between 2008 and 2014 in Hadhramaut and Dawan. Salma Samar Damluji delves into areas considered the last bastions of traditional Arab architecture, revealing unique building techniques and methods through insights from both builders and homeowners, which are largely unknown outside Yemen.

This is a stunning visual guide to the architecture and life of southern Yemen. Master builders have kept alive techniques and styles practiced for centuries, while adapting them to modern requirements. Their practical value and aesthetic quality is beautifully illustrated in this book.
