The book is a sustained look at the evolving relationship between architecture and landscape, with a specific focus on geomorphic megastructures—that is, buildings that look like mountains and other earth forms—vegetative ornament, including green roofs, and complex interpenetrations between architecture and the surface of the earth, semi-subterranean structures, structures penetrated by bedrock, and so forth.
