In contemporary architecture, “landform building” is much more than just a formal strategy. New technologies, new design techniques, and a demand for enhanced environmental performance have provoked a rethinking of architecture’s traditional relationship to the ground.
Landform Building sets out to examine the many manifestations of landscape and ecology in contemporary architectural practice – not as a cross-disciplinary phenomenon (architects working in the landscape) but as new design techniques, new formal strategies, and technical problems within architecture.
The book offers a comprehensive overview of the subject and documents current projects with illustrations and maps. It presents work by Iñaki Ábalos, Tacita Dean, Steven Holl Architects, Junya Ishigami, Toyo Ito, Tsunehisa Kimura, Atelier Peter Kis, Mansilla+Tuñón, Michael Maltzan, Adam Maloof+Situ Studio, Giancarlo Mazzanti, Walter Niedermayr, Ryue Nishizawa, Dominique Perrault, Philippe Rahm, and Chris Taylor. Essays by experts complete this work of reference.
With contributions by Stan Allen, Michel Jakob, Kenneth Frampton, Reyner Banham, David Gissen.

コンテンポラリーアーキテクチャにおける“Landform building(地形建築)”は、単なる形式的な手法ではない。最新のテクノロジー、デザイン技術、そして環境性能向上の必要性は、従来の土地と建築の関係性を再考する必要性を誘発している。
本書は、現代建築における環境とエコロジーの見方を、(建築家が環境設計をしているというような)専門を超えた現象としてではなく、建築の範囲内の全く新しいデザイン技術、形式的手法、技術的な問題として検証する。
本書中では具体的に、主題の総合的概要や現行のプロジェクトを図録や地図と共に収録。また、 Iñaki Ábalos, Tacita Dean, Steven Holl Architects, Junya Ishigami, Toyo Ito, Tsunehisa Kimura, Atelier Peter Kis, Mansilla+Tuñón, Michael Maltzan, Adam Maloof+Situ Studio, Giancarlo Mazzanti, Walter Niedermayr, Ryue Nishizawa, Dominique Perrault, Philippe Rahm, and Chris Taylorらの仕事も紹介している。
