FWF Austrian Science Fund Material Aspects of Building and Craft Traditions: A Himalayan Case Study Due to its diverse natural conditions, the Himalayas are particularly suitable for research on craft traditions. The book clearly shows connections between natural and cultural parameters and regional building and craft traditions and their influence on the material culture in the Himalayas. Der Himalaya bietet sich für die Forschung zu Handwerkstraditionen durch dessen vielfältige naturräumliche Gegebenheiten an. Das Buch zeigt anschaulich Zusammenhänge zwischen natur- und kulturräumlichen Parametern und regionalen Bau- und Handwerkstraditionen und deren Einfluss auf die materielle Kultur im Himalaya. en TEXT Text Material culture, crafts, craftsmanship, building traditions, vernacular architecture, Himalayan architecture, building material, clay mineralogy, earthen architecture, Buddhist architecture, natural environment, cultural heritage, climatic influences ÖFOS 2012 -- TECHNICAL SCIENCES (2) -- Construction Engineering (201) -- History of architecture (201201) ÖFOS 2012 -- NATURAL SCIENCES (1) -- Geosciences (105) -- Mineralogy (105116) ÖFOS 2012 -- TECHNICAL SCIENCES (2) -- Construction Engineering (201) -- Structural engineering (201106) ÖFOS 2012 -- TECHNICAL SCIENCES (2) -- Construction Engineering (201) BIC Standard Subject Categories -- The arts (A) -- History of art / art & design styles (AC) BIC Standard Subject Categories -- The arts (A) -- Art treatments & subjects (AG) -- Art techniques & principles (AGZ) BIC Standard Subject Categories -- The arts (A) -- Architecture (AM) -- Architectural structure & design (AMC) BIC Standard Subject Categories -- The arts (A) -- Architecture (AM) -- Architectural structure & design (AMC) -- Environmentally-friendly architecture & design (AMCR) BIC Standard Subject Categories -- The arts (A) -- Architecture (AM) -- Residential buildings, domestic buildings (AMK) BIC Standard Subject Categories -- The arts (A) -- Architecture (AM) -- Religious buildings (AMN) BIC Standard Subject Categories -- The arts (A) -- Architecture (AM) -- History of architecture (AMX) BIC Standard Subject Categories -- Earth sciences, geography, environment, planning (R) -- Earth sciences (RB) -- Geology & the lithosphere (RBG) -- Soil science, sedimentology (RBGB) BIC Standard Subject Categories -- Earth sciences, geography, environment, planning (R) -- Regional & area planning (RP) -- Rural planning (RPG) Materielle Kultur, Handwerk, Bautraditionen, Vernakuläre Architektur, Himalaya, Baumaterial, Tonmineralogie, Lehmbau, buddhistische Architektur, Bauökologie, kulturelles Erbe, klimatische Einflüsse ÖFOS 2012 -- TECHNISCHE WISSENSCHAFTEN (2) -- Bauwesen (201) -- Architekturgeschichte (201201) ÖFOS 2012 -- NATURWISSENSCHAFTEN (1) -- Geowissenschaften (105) -- Mineralogie (105116) ÖFOS 2012 -- TECHNISCHE WISSENSCHAFTEN (2) -- Bauwesen (201) -- Bautechnik (201106) ÖFOS 2012 -- TECHNISCHE WISSENSCHAFTEN (2) -- Bauwesen (201) 2022-08 2022-08 Feiglstorfer, Hubert Verlag der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften
