Dive deep into the origins of construction. The ground, often used today as a passive foundation to go higher, is full of possibilities. Bjarne Mastenbroek investigates the relationship that architecture has, has had and will have with its environment and nature. Through the photographs of Iwan Baan and more than 500 analytical drawings by SeARCH, Dig it! dissects buildings from past millennia – some famous, some previously unknown. This nearly 1,400-page study, designed by Mevis & Van Deursen, brings architecture back into harmony with the earth’s surface.
