ARCHITECTURE

Natural Architecture

         This concept, developed from the book published by the photographer Alessandro Rocca unites topics from eco friendly architecture otherwise called organic architecture, natural architecture, sustainable architecture, green architecture, to sculptural forms, raw earth buildings or clay construction, earth roofs, living roofs, planted roofs, roof gardens with succulents, balancing masculinity and femininity in design etc...

         

           "Featuring ample and accomplished photography of over 60 site-specific installations that push "designing with nature in mind" to the limits of architectural design, and maybe past them features of unique structures built using artisan skills, using natural materials in the most minimally processed forms possible, and incorporating designs that have been pared down to their most basic, eloquent expressions of the interactions between form, material and setting."
