Pacific Island Style
Pacific Island Style is a collection of images that documents the living environments of various Pacific island nations. Nations are separated into different chapters with discussions of dwelling characteristics and variations on building style. This book is valuable because it shows Polynesian structures and their inhabitants living with the conditions of modernism, unyet categorized by the formalities of architecture.
