Homes crafted to be sustainable; secluded hideaways in harmony with their environment. Who wouldn't want to nestle beside nature." -Psychologies "A pictorial celebration of buildings that are at one with nature... Architects are responding to the natural world with low-impact, sustainable constructions." -First (British Airways first class in-flight magazine) "[Elemental Living] surprises and delights with its spectacular photography of contemporary architecture in dialogue with its dramatic natural surroundings... Includes work by leading lights of 20th-century architecture such as Mies van der Rohe, Oscar Niemeyer and Frank Lloyd Wright alongside pioneering contemporary practitioners including Rick Joy, Kengo Kuma, and Mathias Klotz." -New Design "Excellent... 60 glorious modern buildings celebrating the natural world...
