Book
Bhutan is a small Himalayan country with a rich Buddhist heritage and striking temples, monasteries and dzongs - the district fortresses built  while unifying Bhutan as a Buddhist state. Curious about the history, architecture, and symbolism of these buildings, Laura Blake looked for but could not find a source that provided the information she sought, so she decided to write Bhutan’s Buddhist Architecture. 

The book, which could be read as an introduction or used as a guide while traveling, has brief historical and architectural overviews, a dozen examples of Bhutan’s best known temples, monasteries and dzongs, and a glossary of forty Buddhist symbols commonly used in building decoration. It is illustrated with maps, plans and more than one hundred photographs.
