Photographic journal that will definitely spur some new ideas. Most are more modern, but reminiscent of the Frank Lloyd Wright style of architecture with very strong lines. Multiple settings and unique media usage. Every structural artist who plans an endeavor in the garden should have this!

I am an architecture student and I have consistently referenced this book for my thesis project. There are some excellent examples of interior to exterior space transitions, use of materials, and tectonics.

A great introduction to architects who integrate a connection to nature within their designs.

The format of the book is very useful as well-for each project there is text providing a (relevant!) description of the architect and his intentions, and often a plan to show the building layout, accompanied by great photos. I particularly love the direct quotes from the architects about their views on design and nature.

Beautiful projects, I highly recommend!
