Opis

Architecture and the Forestry Aesthetic presents forestry as a radical tool for re-imagining architecture and sustainable cities. This book shows you how forestry is a design language, an approach to aesthetics, inspired by permeable floors, protective canopies, connected food chains, and resilient ecological, social, and economic systems. Thirty speculative, historical, and contemporary case studies in eighteen countries on five continents are illustrated with more than 300 images to help you apply the lessons learned to your own work. Also includes essays by Charles Waldeim and Elizabeth Meyer, a glossary, and further reading.
