Notes:
Observation: platforms, towers, and lookouts open onto spectacular natural panoramas -- Art: studios, performance spaces, and site-specific sculpture integrate art and nature -- Meditation: open to the sky or close to the earth, these are places of solace and repose -- Shelter: resting places on the journey through mountains, forest, and open fields -- Working: exploring, protecting, and harnessing the natural world -- Dwelling: in the desert, by the water's edge, remote but enveloped by nature.

Summary:

"Each of the fifty-one projects selected by the architects for this book in some way addresses the relationship between the individual and the natural world--how we experience it, inhabit it, make it a part of our personal cosmography, how we give to it and take from it"--Introduction.
