Extreme Architecture Showcases 45 Recent Buildings Designed For Challenging Environments, Giving Valuable Insights Into The Extremes Of Architectural Thinking. Futhermore, In An Increasingly Unstable World, Some Of The Lessons They Teach About Self-sufficiency May Yet Become More Generally Applicable. Projects Range From A Desert Refuge In Southern Arizona To A Floating Marine Research Centre, An Underground Seed Vault In Northern Norway And A Research Station At The South Pole. Each Case Study Begins With A Clearly Presented Table Listing The Altitude, Annual Rainfall And Average Temperatures Of The Site. Photographs Show The Project In Its Environment, As Well As Drawings, Site Plans And Computer Renderings Where Appropriate.--jacket.
