Book Description 
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. As shown in lavish photo spreads, each project was guided by a reverence for pristine sites, tropical climate, and rich cultural heritage. The book also documents techniques employed by both practices in bringing these tropical paradises from dream to reality. Tan Hock Beng, an architect specializing in design for the tropics, has authored books and journal articles extensively on the subject. The principal of MAPS Design Studio, he is based in Singapore.
