{"product_id":"the-iconic-tropical-house","title":"The Iconic Tropical House","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis stunningly illustrated volume presents forty-five of the most interesting tropical houses of the last fifty years, surveying India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia and northern Australia, arranged decade by decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor Patrick Bingham-Hall sets the houses in context arguing that climate, colonization and modernism, as well as geo-political events since the end of World War II, and even air conditioning, have created a very specific set of circumstances and therefore houses. These are buildings with pitched roofs, broad overhangs and eaves, verandas, big doors and windows, that optimize airflow and solar orientation. Larger-than-life, open to the elements, this is soaring architecture with a strong sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBingham-Hall makes the case that this is architecture that’s environmentally attuned and innately sustainable. It’s also a book of lush, jaw-dropping houses that seamlessly blend indoor and out, in locations anyone would want to visit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hochparterre Bücher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53181953704264,"sku":"9780500027011","price":70.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/0255\/9816\/files\/ttropical.png?v=1779811674","url":"https:\/\/www.hochparterre-buecher.ch\/en\/products\/the-iconic-tropical-house","provider":"Hochparterre Bücher","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
