ArchitectureWeek Description
Every year, thousands of acres of woodlands, deserts, meadowlands, and coastal scrub are turned into housing or commercial sites, scraped bare during construction of the very features that attracted buyers in the first place. This book presents techniques for preserving the natural land on which we build, stressing natural landscapes filled with native flora that survive on rainfall alone. A structure built within nature looks as if it has been gently set down into a mature and established landscape, the easiest kind of landscape to maintain. Amazon Customer Average Rating:
