Grounds and envelopes : reshaping architecture and the built environment

Providing a source of vision for the revitalisation of the notional and actual elements of ground and envelope as vital spatial elements that can inform an integral architectural design, this book collects essays and projects that each contributes a particular element to what might constitute an eventually integrated and richly nuanced approach to spatial organisation.
