Vegeterian Architecture. Case Studies on Building and Nature
Andrea Bocco Guarneri
What is “good” architecture? There are extensive criteria attached to this seemingly simple question - much like “good” food, which has increasingly become a social issue in recent decades. This book compiles a selection of buildings based on simple technologies, craftsmanship, and the careful use of local and natural materials. The buildings exhibit excellent construction quality, support landscape restoration, and community building. They come from Europe and Japan and shine a light on lesser-known architects, inconspicuous structures, and marginal places where independent ideas and concepts have been able to develop.
