Caption title.
“Ekistics 227, October 1974”—running caption.
“Afghanistan is still 90 percent rural ad the country has hardly been touched by twentieth century technology, with the result that traditional building methods are not a part of history but a continuing craft. However, modernization is beginning to effect Afghanistan’s mushrooming urban centers, upsetting the balance of traditional culture and the build environment. It is still possible and necessary to understand traditional solutions in evaluating new alternatives”—conclusion (p. 251).
