ArchitectureWeek Description Aaron Betsky considers our historical preoccupation with communing with the land through building. He then explores the ways in which geotecture responds to, becomes a part of, and yet remains distinctive within our natural landscape.With the subtext of our planetŐs power and beauty, Landscrapers reveals some of the most important, influential, and appealing building forms for today and the future.
Aaron Betsky is director of the internationally acclaimed Netherlands Architecture Institute in Rotterdam. His previous publications include critical studies of Zaha Hadid and Daniel Libeskind.
