About the Book
This innovative book offers an original exploration of the profound relationship between architecture and asceticism. Challenging conventional perspectives, it examines how architecture responds to ascetic imperatives, navigating questions of excess, minimalism, and spatial discipline.
Rather than viewing asceticism purely as a religious or cultural practice, the book frames it as a perennial issue influencing cultural and architectural practice. With rich analysis and thoughtful interpretation, it is an essential resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of Buddhist art, philosophy, and architectural theory.
