Edgy Architecture: Architecture in the Most Impossible Places

Edgy Architecture: Architecture in the Most Impossible Places

â€¢Architecture built in impossible locations, drawing from work by the best architects in the world

â€¢A beautiful gift and coffee table book for architecture lovers

"We wanted this house to embrace its landscape, we designed a house that would not engage with its landscape and become landscape." - Julien De Smedt in dezeen.com.

"Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you." - Frank Lloyd Wright.

"I do not think that architecture is only about shelter, is only a very simple enclosure. It should be, to you, to make you think." - Zaha Hadid.

This beautifully photographed book of striking buildings in impossibly difficult locations features a carefully curated selection of international projects. In more than 60 case studies, the authors profile houses built on cliffs, steep mountain slopes, and other treacherous places, like X house in Barcelona, Lookout in Norway, and the Capital Hill Residence of Zaha Hadid in Russia. The photographs were taken expressly for this book, and feature interior images and plans.
