hidden architecture / book design

Architecture that blends in rather than standing out is the focus of Hidden Architecture.This book presents innovative examples of buildings that are designed to disappear into their surroundings or hide in plain sight. Buildings can be buried underground, hidden among trees, covered with greenery, or even sunk into the sea. They can be covered with mirrors to reflect their surroundings, disappear beneath an urban plaza, or squeeze in behind solid walls.Hidden Architecture examines projects from around the world that are cleverly disguised but still beautifully detailed and exquisite in their execution.
