The third volume in the successful and exciting series featuring young architecture and design talents turns its focus to building with the land and nature.
Projects by thirty of the most innovative young practices working today – including Field Operations, Tom Leader, NOX, Servo, Vicente Guallart and Kengo Kuma – confront and offer proposals and solutions to such issues as dwindling natural resources,land engineering, the city as ecosystem and the sensitive development of brown sites.
Presented through extensive plans, computer renderings and photographs, buildings and larger-scale schemes reveal an array of breathtaking ideas for the future, an inspiration for a generation of designers, practitioners and policy-makers.
Essays by international critics Frédéric Migayrou, Bart Lootsma, Manuel Gausa and others consider the earth's economy and suggest how contemporary architects might best and most responsibly respond to our fragile planet in a technology-driven age.
