Bali Houses is a beautiful introduction to the contemporary Asian design movement known as "Bali Style." With visually stunning photographs, architect Gianni Francione shows how Balinese designers are updating traditional aesthetic principles to create a new international flavor. Villas showcasing the characteristic open, panoramic style are now being made with marble and stone. Architects are applying modern techniques to resort bungalows made of customary coconut wood. The author shows how these departures from tradition are influencing everything from interior design to textiles, table settings to furniture. Bali Houses is perfect for anyone interested in architecture or design.

reviewed Bali Houses: New Wave Asian Architecture on September 18, 2019 Bali Houses: New Wave Asian Architecture
Growing up in New Orleans, as I did, one becomes aware of the Pontalba Buildings at a young age. These 19th-century buildings flank Jackson Square (called the Place d'Armes at the time this book is concerned with) -- the iconic St. Louis Cathedral is in the center.
It seems I've always known the name of the Baroness Pontalba as the woman behind the buildings, but that was all I knew about her. But once this book came out, her life between the marriage and the building of the Pontalba apartments was revealed; and the full story is a doozy.
Once again, history continues to show me that the politics behind governments has not changed and that families with lots of money always seem to have at least one problem child, as was the Baroness's oldest son.
This book is written in an engaging style, with the author's wit poking through in several places.
