The Stone Crafts of Rajasthan: A Manual
The book looks into the neglect of Rajasthan’s original stone craft techniques as only a few expert craftspersons exist as of now and there is lack of resources and information for consumers and designers who may want to bring the tradition into contemporary usage. Based on intensive fieldwork and involving consultations with those engaged in the industry, it comes as a ready reference to use of stone in the building industry in a contemporary, practical manner. It discusses in detail structural and architectural elements of the stone buildings that are part of the traditional stonework of the state of Rajasthan. With illustrations including photographs, sketches and architectural drawings, it also throws light on the finishing (floor and wall) and interiors and landscape elements that characterise the buildings.
