内容説明

This book is a lavishly illustrated study of the prewar Singapore detached house, including the bungalow, from the time of the first settlement to World War II. Edwards analyzes the house architecturally, in terms of the way domestic life affected its design, and in the context of the life and character of the suburban setting of which it formed an important part.
