"Of all the sacred sites that Kenro Izu has photographed since 1979, Angkor Wat is undoubtedly his spiritual and psychological base camp. While he has so often succeeded in representing the sacred and ancient landscape, Angkor Wat is the creative thread that weaves itself through all of his work. Angkor Wat is the touchstone - it supports Izu's output and indeed holds it together like the geometrical matrix of the spider's web.For these ..."

"Thomas Karsten (18841945) was one of a small group of modern Dutch architects who developed their careers in the Dutch East Indies in the first half of the 20th century. Karsten and his contemporaries laid the foundations of modern urban Indonesia, but his work to date has regrettably not received the international prominence it deserves. His contributions to architecture and town planning were extraordinary, including a radical integra ..."

Organised chronologically, this book opens with the modestly scaled brick structures of the seventh and eighth cen ..."

After making numerous trips to Angkor Wat, Izu, who was deeply moved by his encounters with the ..."
