natural architecture.

something about these images from alessandro rocca’s natural architecture (the book) feels so magical–as if the natural world itself had shaped itself into this new form. they also remind me of building forts with my sisters and of the summer i spent maintaining hiking trails in vermont. i think someday i want to create an “organic highway” of my very own. for more details on the book and the artists, head here

    wow, that first photo is amazing! I love all these though. that last one definitely feels magical and I get a little topsy turvy looking at it… 🙂

    I have been so busy this week I missed all your other great posts. truck farm, colorful legos, downtown metal roofs… I loved them all (even if I only got to read them today)!
