Still Standing: The Ti Kais of Dominica

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Adom Philogene-Heron

Still Standing is a celebration of the vanishing vernacular architecture of Dominica. These small wooden homes, ingeniously crafted and carefully adapted to their environment, have survived hurricanes and earthquakes; in contrast to many modern concrete buildings, they are still standing. Even so, they are under threat from the forces of development. The stories and images in this book provide powerful evidence for vernacular conservation that will inspire new respect for the islands history and culture. See more
