Sehr gutes Ex. - The development of Tunisian hotel architecture -Tunisia, land of architecture-Tunisia, land of travel - Fifty years of tourism in Tunisia - Architecture and tourism in Tunisia The play of space and forms - Pillars of the sky - Light and shadow - Captive water - Water on stone-Vaults and domes - Meeting points and passages - Traces of a Berber past- Contemporary rigour- Tradition and modernity- Ephemeral architecture. - In the space of thirty years, Tunisia has become a popular Mediterranean tourist destination.Tourism has moved away from its original beach-side base, and today there are hotels all over the country. Stars under the Sun records and describes Tunisia's hotel architecture, from Tabarka in the far north to the tent encampments of the distant south. In its own way, this book celebrates the civilisations which once flourished on Tunisian soil. The country has absorbed diverse cultures, and their influence can be read in the country's historic architecture and in that of its hotels.The photographs of Jacques Perez capture the feel of these buildings, setting them alongside the traditional buildings which may have inspired them.The introductory text by Denis Lesage gives fascinating insights into the shaping ofTunisian architecture, ancient and modern. In a well-known phrase, Egyptian architect and proponent of traditional building Hassan Fathy said "We cannot go backwards, we must return to the architecture of times past, examine it and go forward." Stars under the Sun is a fine record of building which seems to fulfil this proposition.
