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.
