Description
Architecture and nature are intertwined in a complex relationship that Territory explores. This book examines how buildings can actively shape their surroundings, creating new environments through the manipulation of atmospheres, habitats, and other ecological factors.
The title challenges traditional notions of architecture as either accommodating or balancing with the natural world. Instead, it proposes a strategy of environmental tinkering, where buildings are designed to influence and transform their external conditions.
By exploring this new approach to architecture, Territory offers insights into how buildings can be used to create new patterns, effects, and sensations in urban experience. This book is a thought-provoking examination of the relationship between architecture and environment.
