A survey of representative structures in the major geographic regions of Pakistan, with a view toward establishing the role of climate, available materials, economy, & social patterns as determinants of built forms. Primarily based on a field survey conducted in the summer of 1976, observations were recorded by photographs & crude measured drawings. Among the regions not included are the extreme north, the Cholistan & Thar desert, & Mekran. A wide range of forms is shown, reflecting the distinct characteristics of each region, from the warm humid coast in the south, through the central plains & deserts, to the harsh arid mountains in the west & the wooded slopes & valleys of the north. 13 Photographs.
