Description
"The relationship between contemporary architecture and nature is fundamental to today's creativity. Some architects reject nature or imagine that they can create an artificial world of their own - while others are seeking new ways, aided by science and the computer, to chart new directions for the buildings of tomorrow. From ecologically-oriented designs to the most astonishing new forms, this book shows how essential nature remains to architecture."--Jacket.
Description
"The relationship between art and architecture, though rooted in history, is at the heart of today's creativity. Artists have all but abandoned traditional concepts and forms, seeking to renew their vision and their relevance in the contemporary world. Many of them are attracted to the spatial presence of architecture. Simultaneously, contemporary architects, setting aside the precepts and influences of modernism, have come closer to artistic expression. The barriers between art and architecture are coming down, and this illustrated book looks at the ways in which this historic meeting of disciplines is profoundly changing contemporary culture."--Jacket.
