| Description: |
A new terrain in architecture, presented by architectural work, critical texts, historical documentation and artist projects. Projects and buildings by architects such as Steven Holl, Toyo Ito, Dominique Perrault and Philippe Rahm among others. |
| Synopsis: |
Green roofs, artificial mountains and geological forms; buildings you walk on or over; networks of ramps and warped surfaces; buildings that carve into the ground or landscapes lifted high into the air: all these are commonplace in architecture today. New technologies, new design techniques and a demand for enhanced environmental performance have provoked a re-thinking of architecture's traditional relationship to the ground. The book Landform Building sets out to examine the many manifestations of landscape and ecology in contemporary architectural practice: not as a cross-disciplinary phenomenon (architects working in the landscape) but as new design techniques, new formal strategies and technical problems within architecture. |
