"Introduces a new and exciting technique for salvaging the natural land upon which we build new homes, new offices, or even new shopping centers. ... -- the Envelope, an approach to construction that is cost effective, simple, and environmentally responsible. A structure built within nature's envelope looks as if it has been gently set down into a mature and established landscape -- which is the easiest kind of landscape to maintain." (dj) With examples from California, Arizona, South Carolina, Minnesota, and other North American locales.
