Balinese Architecture: Towards an Encyclopaedia
AU$500.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMade Wijaya
[Sanur]: Fotokopi, 1988.This book grew out of a report by students of the University of Sydney during a holiday design programme in Bali to which Wijaya was the tutor. “Most of the photographers were taken over the six months April – October, 1984. The selection is comprehensive in that it covers the full spectrum of Balinese Architecture — mountain to coastal, north to south, palatial to makeshift..” (from preface) Made Wijaya (born in Sydney as Michael White, 1953-2016) was a landscape architect who left Sydney for Bali as a break from architectural studies at University of Sydney and stayed, immersing himself in the Balinese culture, consorting with royalty, and in 1975 was renamed Made Wijaya by a priest in a Hindu temple ceremony. The New Compiled Edition, combining volumes 1 and 2. Photocopied pages (as issued) with 14 original colour photographs pasted in (copies are known to have differing numbers of added photographs). One of 50 numbered and signed copies, this copy further inscribed by Wijaya to the title page, and with numerous manuscript corrections as well as additional information tabs further describing many of the illustrations.
