When it comes to Buddhist Architecture, most of the literature on the topic revolves around the study of ancient Buddhist structures, such as rock-cut caves, chaityas, and viharas. While this is a necessary discourse in itself, it is in no way exhaustive. Over the ages, Buddhist architecture has adapted extensively to the evolving cultural and architectural landscape surrounding it, and this transformation has manifested itself differently in different social and physical contexts. However, in the present scenario, each of these examples of Buddhist architecture retains a characteristic style, reminiscent of its roots.
This book is an effort to delve into such contexts and study the form and style of Buddhist structures worldwide. It takes into account regions that served as the seat of Buddhism, such as the Himalayan region (Bhutan), South Asia (Sri Lanka), Southeast Asia (Thailand), and East-Asia (Japan), and compares it to the birthplace of the religion, Bodhgaya. In order to present a holistic overview of the evolution. The book aims to act as a repository of information regarding these structures and as a starting point for all those who are seeking to design and create modern Buddhist spaces.
