Hi, everyone I just found your very interesting Yahoo group that discusses Chinese architecture.
It is good that there is interest in my 'The Chinese House' book, which was published in 1990--a long, long time ago!. It was a very general book and has been superseded by several books that are much better. You have my permission to use any of the illustrations (!) but there are much better ones in my later books. Some of the newer books are available online either completely as e-books or in snippet view with just a few pages. If you are interested in links, just let me know: CHINESE HOUSES: THE ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE OF A NATION (2005)Excellent drawings in this book. Available in Periplus/Java Books stores in Indonesia--also in many university libraries. Previews are available online http://www.amazon.com/Chinese-Houses-Architectural-Heritage-Nation/dp/0804835373/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1234717264&sr=8-12 HOUSE HOME FAMILY: LIVING & BEING CHINESE (2005) (I am now trying to arrange with the published to get this full book on line) This book is in full color with contributions by outstanding scholars from throughout the world--also quite cheap. http://books.google.com/books?id=uJNUAAAAMAAJ&q=Ronald+G.+Knapp&dq=Ronald+G.+Knapp&pgis=1 CAN VIEW SAMPLE PAGES AND READ A CHAPTER HERE: http://www.uhpress.hawaii.edu/cart/shopcore/?db_name=uhpress&page=shop/flypage&product_id=3813&category_id=b3e6237d1b1b3b8594488ed1c40d0dfb&PHPSESSID=1c559e9392a97fe68786c728519b0f41 ASIA'S OLD DWELLINGS: TRADITION, RESILIENCE, AND CHANGE (2003) http://books.google.com/books?id=fUqRHQAACAAJ&dq=Ronald+G.+Knapp CHINA'S OLD DWELLINGS (2000) This book is a very detailed examination of Chinese dwellings with a large number of photographs and drawings--perhaps the best survey of Chinese houses in English http://books.google.com/books?id=PNnfwOo-WdAC&pg=PP1&dq=Ronald+G.+Knapp&lr= CHINA'S LIVING HOUSES: FOLK BELIEFS, TRADITIONS, AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT (1999) Full e-book available through NetLibrary http://books.google.com/books?id=swbLAAAACAAJ&dq=Ronald+G.+Knapp&lr= CHINESE LANDSCAPES: THE VILLAGE AS PLACE (1993) Accessible through google.books http://books.google.com/books?id=wndqi4A4AIYC&pg=PP1&dq=Ronald+G.+Knapp There are some other books that I could recommend, if necessary. -------------- CHINESE BRIDGES: LIVING ARCHITECTURE FROM CHINA'S PAST (2008) This is my latest book--also available in Periplus/Java Books shops in Indonesia and many libraries Previews are available online http://www.amazon.com/Chinese-Bridges-Living-Architecture-Chinas/dp/0804838844/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1234717264&sr=8-11 ------------------------ As some of you know, I am now completing a book to be called CHINESE HOUSES IN SOUTHEAST ASIA: ECLECTIC ARCHITECTURE OF SOJOURNERS AND SETTLERS, which will be published in Spring 2009.

I may have some questions that I'll post on this group and would appreciate your help. Many thanks!
