{"product_id":"mosques-of-cochin-9781890206017","title":"Mosques of Cochin","description":"\u003cb\u003eThis book\u003c\/b\u003e documents the surviving vernacular mosques of Cochin [now Kochi] - the jewel of the trading culture of the Malabar coast of Kerala, and where historic patterns of an urban trading culture remain visible in the buildings and layout of the city. Sited in compounds replete with coconut palms, the mosques offer an oasis of tranquility in densely populated neighborhoods. Large wood-framed pyramidal roofs, deep overhangs, and fine wooden craftsmanship distinguish the Kerala vernacular architecture. The mosques of Cochin stand as powerful and visible expressions of the integration of Islam into the culture of Malabar. However, they are hardly mentioned in architectural histories or heritage surveys. This book brings recognition to them as highly valued resources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mapin Publishing Pvt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781890206017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 7.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Patricia Tusa Fels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52452249108661,"sku":"9781890206017","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_2cd51a8c-3cbc-4b27-b7ff-d245545e1e50.jpg?v=1776826395","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/mosques-of-cochin-9781890206017","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
