Architecture not only manifests itself in the form of buildings but also as interventions born of their context. Our inextricable

connection to nature has always prompted architects to

intervene in the landscape as a way of marking, preserving or

enhancing our surroundings and our relationship to them. This

volume showcases a selection of contemporary structures

inspired by the experiences derived from our interaction with

the landscape—looking, walking and bathing—as proof of how

architecture can both respectfully and elegantly strengthen our

bond with nature.
