Landscrapers: Building with the Land - Hardcover

"An introductory historical survey on the many and creative ways humans have fought for and against the earth beneath our feet... reveals an architecture that reads the text and texture of the land in three dimensions."

Newly available in PLC, Landscrapers is a stunningly designed and illustrated exploration of global 'geotecture' - the way in which architects are building into the earth, merging man-made form with the contours of the land. Four central chapters explore the different ways in which geotecture responds to, interacts with, becomes a part of and is integrated into our natural landscape. A reference section includes useful project and architect information, along with further reading.
