Terrestrial Architecture by Jack Oliva-Rendler has released this week in hardback, paperback, and e-book formats. And praise for the book has been flowing like Niagara Falls. Here is a sample of the comments, from people working and teaching within the architecture profession:
"Like a renaissance man, Jack Oliva-Rendler sets out to create an interdisciplinary unifying holistic theory, a possible future or opportunity for designing the planet. The book presents a new paradigm where infrastructure, formal geometries as dynamic formulations of space, data, and ecosystems are intertwined to design the planet in a harmonic way." —Benjamin Pollack "Terrestrial Architecture is a brilliant journey through speculative infrastructures that harmonize ecological and human systems in visually striking and always unexpected ways. This book opens whole new terrains of algorithmic design for sustainability grounded in complex geospatial and metabolic contexts." —Dr. Stuart Cowan "With beautiful prose and images, Jack Oliva-Rendler restores a spiritual dimension to architecture that has long been absent from most intellectual field. After reading this book, you will feel more connected to the earth, and to the human projects that both enhance and endanger it." —Graham Harman Terrestrial Architecture is available everywhere books are sold, such as Amazon.

The abbey’s interior is just as impressive as its exterior. Visitors can explore the grand halls, chapels, and crypts, each filled with intricate details and centuries-old craftsmanship that reflect the deep religious significance of the site.
