Contemporary directions for development of villages and lodges in high mountains based on the Himalayas
Journal Title: Architecture Civil Engineering Environment - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The essence of the studies are present-day mountain shelters, lodges that are open for business and the impact of global tourism on their architecture. While analyzing an aspect of living in time and place context, the types of construction objects found there were determined. The spatial layout of mountain villages was submitted for analysis and the distinguishing characteristics of Himalayan shelters were indicated, based on those located in the Mount Everest area. The paper presents potential directions for development of these types of buildings.
