"Today, when so much of our world consists of nature in an altered state, from cultivated landscapes to simulated and artificial environments, and when the public and clients increasingly seek to protect those few remaining bits of "raw nature," an obvious question emerges: Can architects design without nature?" "The ramifications of designing for, against, or with nature in the new millennium are the basis of the projects envisioned by six of America's most exciting young architectural talents, and presented here in Second Nature." "Whether for city or landscape, or for rural or urban clients, each of these projects, from architects newly arrived on the international scene, presents provocative and innovative designs establishing a new millennial attitude toward nature. Through collages, drawings, computer renderings, photographs, and text, the designers explain how their works create a new relationship between the built and the natural."--BOOK JACKET.
