Sloping Landscape illustrates how architects and designers subvert, emphasize and mimic the natural features around projects planned for uneven topography. It presents the latest and most creative 'sloping designs' in the world, from homes perched like birds' nests on hilltops and public parks trailing down steep faces to almost-vertical mountainside gardens and commercial buildings and hotels that utilize changes in elevation to cultivate a sense of isolation and privacy for clients and guests.
