Summary: "Landform Building sets out to examine the many manifestations of landscape and ecology in contemporary architectural practice: not as a cross-disciplinary phaenomenon (architects working in the landscape) but as new design techniques, new formal strategies and technical problems within architecture. The editors have assembled a catalogue of architectural work, critical texts, historical documentation and artist projects that together map out a new terrain for architecture."
