The Anatomy of Architecture: Ontology and Metaphor in Batammaliba Architectural Expression New edition
Suzanne Preston Blier
Blier illuminates the extraordinary architecture of the Batammaliba people of Western Africa, revealing these buildings as texts through which we can read the beliefs, psychology, traditions, and social concerns of their inhabitants. In doing so, she explores the role of vernacular architecture as an expression of culture.
