| Description | Kathmandu Valley is well known for bricks, bronze, and woodcraftsmanship. Bricks, wood, and mud mortar are the main building materials of the vernacular architecture. Be they palaces, the houses of nobles, merchants, or the common people, the building materials and styles are similar. Increased wealth and position is evidenced in houses depending on their size, as well as elaborate windows and woodcarving. Wood is one of the main building materials as beams, doors, door and window frames, and stairs are all made from the wood (Tonna et al., 2019). | ||
