Originally presented as the author's master's thesis (University of Evora, 1998).
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Contents : Introduction -- 1. The Hindu courtyard house-- 2. The Christian courtyard house -- 3. Materials -- 4. Specific architectonic elements -- 5. The conservation of the courtyard houses of Goa.
The courtyard house of Goa harks back to a log tradition of dwellings with a central space open to the skies circumscribed by rooms on all sides, a model as much functional in keeping the house cool in the hot climate, as of sacred inspiration.
