OPIS
Today, the desire to escape the urban bustle inspires the longing to retreat to natural serenity. The book Arcadia is an inspiring reference that shows how the archaic idea of ife in harmony with nature can be reflected in contemporary living. Taking readers on a journey through a collection of contemporary alpine and backcountry architecture and interior design, it profiles architects and designers who are embracing nature and creating provocative rural hideaways that adapt to their surrounding habitats and their topographical and climatic conditions.
