On  the contrary: their positions within the landscape and their  architectural designs were determined by socio-cultural,  religious and economic factors. This book explores the  correlations between temple distribution, natural surroundings  and architectural design to understand how Central Javanese  people structured the space around them, and how the religious  landscape thus created, developed. Besides questions related to  territory and landscape, Degroot's book analyzes the structure of  the built space and its possible relations with conceptualized  space, showing the influence of imported Indian concepts, as well  as their limits. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Going off the beaten track, this book explores the hundreds of  small sites that scatter the landscape of Central Java. It is  also one of very few studies to apply the methods of spatial  archaeology to Central Javanese temples and the first in almost a  century to present a descriptive inventory of the remains of this  region.","brand":"Sidestone Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51047071220055,"sku":"9789088900396","price":48.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9789088900396.jpg?v=1750970153","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/candi-space-and-landscape-9789088900396","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
