Description:Never has the relationship between art and nature been more complicated and more fragile, but also richer and more fascinating. The artists and architects in Natural Architecture have transformed the act of building into an art form capable of sparking new relationships with nature, landscape and the environment. Though far from basic or primitive, these creations are built from humble elements: branches, twigs, pebbles, straw and stone found at their site. Fulfilling a wide variety of intentions--sometimes structural, sometimes sculptural, sometimes sacred--the works presented here inspire a sense of awe and reverence for the forces of nature. From a bridge in Tibet connecting an orphanage and a nearby village, to a hut fit for mythical creatures, to a pavilion in Iceland with a roof made of water perpetually frozen in an exuberant shape, each project resonates with a sense of purpose and innate beauty.Natural Architecture presents sixty-six site-specific installations that use raw materials, manual labor and natural stimuli to create truly green architecture that is as organic as the materials with which it is created. Projects by Olafur Eliasson, Patrick Dougherty, Nils-Udo, Ex. Studio, Edward Ng, nArchitects and many others are shown together for the first time. Selected for their commitment to the use of raw materials, manual labor, and natural inspiration, these works are vividly displayed in photographs, drawings and models. These fantastical creations allow the changing landscape to naturally overtake each structure until it finally decomposes. The rugged and surreal beauty of the projects in Natural Architecture question the wisdom of our ever accelerating construction processes and point a way forward, toward a new organic simplicity of structure and form.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
