BLDGBLOG is a weblog about architecture, landscape and the built environment. This book distills the author's vision from underground exploration to climate change, via J.G. Ballard, tectonic warfare to the music of icebergs, military installations, weather patterns, and sci-fi urbanity are all fair game. When the opportunity came to create a book expanding on the blog's areas of inquiry, the same inventive and questioning approach was applied. The book takes its chapter structure from common themes of the blog—like underground structures and redesigning the sky - while also distinguishing itself from the blog. Where the role of a blog is to be constantly shifting and fresh, the book provides a scholar's record.
