A dome made of ash trees, a rough-hewn ladder reaching for the sky, a giant nest made of pine, an enormous spider made of bamboo and a willow cathedral. Natural Architecture by Alessandro Rocca is a celebration of artists and architects. The book features world-renowned artists that gently work in harmony with nature to create stunning visual artworks.
Natural Architecture describes sixty-six site-specific outdoor installations featuring the world’s best natural artists, including Guilano Mauri, creator of the living cathedral, Jackie Brookner’s stunning living biosculptures that clean polluted water plus revitalize land and water, Edward Ng’s stunning natural bridge used by children in rural China to cross a river on their way to school and Patrick Dougherty’s revolutionary use of tree samplings in his art.
A beautiful book that will appeal to everyone from the architect to the artist to the environmentalist.
