Samoa's Iconic Fale: How Culture Informs Architecture (ISBN: 978 4 9910659 0 3) is a new, brilliant book that brings decades of research together to document the traditional construction of Sāmoa's iconic meeting houses. Drawing on rare knowledge from master builders, early travellers, and recent scholarship, it highlights why the fale remains central to Sāmoan identity, community, and cultural life.
Richly illustrated with technical drawings and photographs, the book offers a compelling introduction to Sāmoan indigenous architecture, and an indispensable reference for anyone seeking deeper insight into Pacific architecture and indigenous knowledge systems.
