Product Description

Review
"Xing Ruan has used this marvelous miniature of a minority group in SE China to illuminate the complex relation between many other societies, their daily life, their rituals and ceremonies, and their buildings, and to remind us of how building and behavior interweave." - Joseph Rykwert, Paul Philippe Cret Professor of Architecture Emeritus, University of Pennsylvania "Allegorical Architecture is a truly remarkable achievement in that it is both a detailed ethno-architectural study of a small minority group, the Dong, in China, and also a work of far broader scope, one that boldly and subtly addresses major issues in built form and life." - Yi-Fu Tuan, Professor Emeritus of Geography, University of Wisconsin"

Product Description
Offers an architectural analysis of built forms and building types of the minority groups in southern China and of the Dong nationality in particular.
