The daring and elegant houses and rice barns of the Sa'dan Toraja can claim a place among the world's most impressive forms of vernacular architecture. The aim of this book was to compile a description and interpretation of the various building forms and of their different levels of meaning. The houses of the Toraja, some of them more than three hundred years old, show a development in time with an increasing accent on refinementand ostentatious display. The house is of pivotal symbolic significance to the Toraja. It serves as an expression of the universe in it's entirety: it forms a cosmos in miniature, a microcosm.
