HIDDEN ARCHITECTURE - ALYN GRIFFITHS GEBUNDEN

An inspired selection of buildings that blend into their environment This book presents
innovative examples of hidden architecture: buildings that are designed to disappear into their
surroundings or hide in plain sight. In the city  hidden buildings are often designed to
provide the occupants with privacy and protection from the busy world outside or they can be
incorporated into the streetscape to free up space for public use. In the countryside 
buildings should not spoil a scenic landscape  so they can be designed to become a part of it.
Buildings can be buried underground  hidden amongst trees  covered with greenery or even sunk
into the sea. They can be clad in mirrors to reflect their surroundings  disappear beneath an
urban plaza or be hidden from view on top of another building. Each of these imaginative
solutions offers a way for architecture to blend in rather than stand out. Hidden Architecture
tells the stories of projects from around the world that are cleverly disguised but still
beautifully detailed and outstanding in their execution.
