Hidden in the foothills of the Himalayas, Bhutan, land of the thunder dragon, is an extraordinary destination. Sandwiched between two global giants -- India and China -- Bhutan has somehow managed to preserve both its heritage and its environment. From the moment you arrive, you are treated as guests and not as tourists. The Bhutanese are respectful and welcoming. Tenzin, our guide, meets us at the airport in Paro and is eager to show us the sights. His knowledge is vast and he shares it, unravelling Bhutan's history for us as we climb the circular stairs of Ta Dzong. In central Bhutan, large painted flying phalluses decorate homes. Said to boost fertility and protect the occupants, they honour 16th-century Drukpa Kunly, the Divine Madman known for his humour and bizarre antics. He's cr...

Walking into the temple's main room, worshippers paused on the steps to admire the iconography etched into the building's facade.

It's almost schizophrenic," he said as he recalled trying to express a design idea in the languages of economics, politics and construction. "One day you meet with a government official for a big project and the next day you're talking with the bricklayers." At times, he suggested, the translation asked too much of builders. "Architects can't worry about it," he said, explaining that the big new ideas usually have to wait. "There are too many financial and legal responsibilities to deal with. "I'm not sure that's Douglas fir," said [Dave Scarth], inspecting one of the many support beams saved from the original buildings. Later, after seeing a cross-section of the same wood used as the base of a bench, he conceded that it indeed was. "Now I see it's Douglas fir," he said.
