Many of the stunning natural landscapes that bless tropical areas of
Asia are now transformed into major tourist destinations, as showcased
in this enticing volume that focus on the works of landscaper architects,
Bensley Design Studios, and Bunnag Architects, two firms based in Bangkok.

tropical paradises from dream to reality. Tan Hock Beng, an architect specializing
in design for the tropics, has authored books and journal articles extensively
