A 1,400-page compendium by Bjarne Mastenbroek and SeARCH, exploring the relationship between architecture and the Earth's surface. The book showcases examples, both historical and contemporary, where architecture harmoniously integrates with its surroundings. It features African churches carved from rock, Chinese villages embedded in terrains, overgrown Parisian housing, and a villa in the cliffs of Capri.
The content is organized into six strategies: Bury, Embed, Absorb, Spiral, Carve, and Mimic. With analytical drawings by SeARCH and photos by Iwan Baan, the book promotes a symbiotic connection between architecture and the landscape, offering inspiration for thoughtful design in various environments.
