Machu Picchu From An Engineer's Perspective, Jonah S. Mears

Scholars Day

(caption before 15) Some of the many other elements that make it stand out are the simple construction tools used, the excellent stonework, the ingenious water supply, and the splendid Temples of the Sun, the Condor, and the Three Windows.

Traditional Design In An Ancient Village Of Tanintharyi, Winn Myintzu, Soe Thainkha, Elizabeth H. Moore

NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)

The ancient village of Thagara is located circa ten kilometres north of Dawei, Tanintharyi Region of Lower Myanmar. While Thagara's archaeology and the domestic religious architecture such as the pagodas and monasteries have been well documented, this article is the first to classify the main elements of the domestic dwellings. Five key components of the vernacular architecture are identified: the style of the house facade, the building materials, the hearth, the rice barn and the shrine. Constructed with local materials, the facades and roofs were designed to meet the challenges of the monsoonal climate and the hearth and rice barn …
