Description

Offers an original insight into the profound relationship between architecture and asceticism. It convincingly traces the influences from early Indian asceticism to Zen Buddhism to the Japanese teahouse. The protagonist of the narrative is the hermit's hut. The author provides a complex narrative that stems from this simple structure, showing how the significance of the hut resonates widely and how the question of dwelling is central to ascetic imagination.
