About the Book
Nature and architecture have never been more intertwined. As more of the earth's surface is swallowed up by the built environment, architects are increasingly up to the task of integrating flora and greenery into their creations.Book Synopsis
Nature and architecture have never been more intertwined. As more of the earth's surface is swallowed up by the built environment, architects are increasingly up to the task of integrating flora and greenery into their creations.
There are many ways to express this: green roofs, living walls, indoor courtyards and entire facades filled with plants. But where these are posed as solutions there are yet more questions. How does a skyscraper uphold the weight of hundreds of trees? How do residents keep moss-covered walls alive? Jungle Architecture explores this, and much more.
Review Quotes
"a spectacular tour of the world's most striking sustainable projects. Each one of them shows us, with the usual beauty of the German publisher, that another world -a better one- is possible." -- AD-- "AD (Spain), 25.06.2021"
"Biophilic design to reimagine the world of tomorrow. Between green roofs and urban flora" -- ELLE DECOR-- "ELLE Decor (Italy), June 2021"
"For those who believe the world can really change for the better." -- SALONE DEL MOBILE-- "Salone del Mobile (Italy), August 2021"
"Fortunately, the tendency to intertwine plants and buildings is gaining ground. Not only in spectacular designs by architects like Stefano Boeri and Thomas Heatherwick; also existing buildings are getting a green makeover. This book sheds light on this hopeful movement, from small to large, with plenty of practical information so that the reader too can get started." -- ELLE DECOR-- "ELLE Decor (NL), Sep/Oct 2021"
