First published in Italy in 1982 and long one of the most sought-after books in design and architecture circles, The Architecture of Trees is exactly what it sounds like — a meticulous, breathtaking study of trees drawn in plan, elevation, and cross-section, as though they were buildings to be understood from every angle. The illustrations are extraordinary, and the book rewards both slow reading and simply being left open on a coffee table. For anyone who has ever stood under a great tree in Acadia and felt that they were inside something built.
