Buddhistische Tempelanlagen in Siam

Döhring, Karl, 1879-1941, Stönner, Heinrich, 1872- · 1920 · Bangkok, Siam : Asia Publishing-House · 36 pictures

A German-language architectural survey of Buddhist temple complexes in Siam, published in Bangkok in 1920 by Karl Döhring and Heinrich Stönner for scholars and architects studying Thai religious building. Its pictures are measured plans of temple halls, cloisters and enclosures drawn in black line with a scale bar, showing how rows of columns, stepped platforms and axial entrances are laid out, which a designer could draw on for symmetrical plan arrangements and grid-based layouts.
