- Amazing buildings that seem to defy the laws of gravity
- More than 40 case studies on building in the most ‘unbuildable’ places, with insights from architects
In Living on the Edge, the author goes in search of the most amazing and seemingly unfeasible buildings, which are situated at the edge of deep chasms and on steep cliffs. These houses are the work of architects who approach complexity and difficult conditions with imagination and a talent for thinking outside the box.
This book shows how, with the help of innovative techniques, fear of heights-inducing homes have been built at the most challenging locations all over the world. Living on the Edge is a book for architecture lovers without fear of heights!
Book Description
Inspirerende huizen gebouwd op kliffen, steile berghellingen en afgronden
From the Back Cover
Living on the cliffs is undoubtedly an adventurous prospect - the stunning vistas, unspoilt natural surroundings, and the quietness of remote locations with the flair of a hide-out, as well as the proximity to nature, whether an ocean front or a mountain range.
From houses that already exist to visions of tomorrow, the projects gathered in this volume embrace challenges such as steep, rocky terrain, limited accessibility, extreme weather conditions, and preserving the natural environment. Architects around the globe demonstrate the most innovative solutions for sites where construction may seem unthinkable.
