Landform Building

Architecture’s New Terrain

Stan Allen, Marc McQuade Ed(s)

In contemporary architecture, “landform building” is much more than just a formal strategy. New technologies, new design techniques, and a demand for enhanced environmental performance have provoked a rethinking of architecture’s traditional relationship to the ground. Landform Building sets out to examine the many manifestations of landscape and ecology in contemporary architectural practice – not as a cross-disciplinary phenomenon (architects working in the landscape) but as new design techniques, new formal strategies, and technical problems within architecture.

The book offers a comprehensive overview of the subject and documents current projects with illustrations and maps. It presents work of well-assorted architects. Essays by experts complete this work of reference.

Published in cooperation with the Princeton University School of Architecture.
