Natural Architecture

Book: Natural Architecture. By Alessandro Rocca. Princeton Architectural Press, 2007

Description

"featuring ample and accomplished photography of over 60 site-specific installations that push "designing with nature in mind" to the limits of architectural design, and maybe past them.

Happily this is not yet another half-baked book about greening your kitchen or eco-friendly interiors, hustled onto the shelves to capitalize on the green-is-the-new-black moment. "Natural Architecture" features unique structures built using artisan skills, using natural materials in the most minimally processed forms possible, and incorporating designs that have been pared down to their most basic, eloquent expressions of the interactions between form, material and setting."
