Camouflage Architecture
Camouflage architecture refers to the design of buildings and structures that blend into their natural surroundings. This approach often uses colors, materials, and shapes that mimic the local environment, making the structures less visible. The goal is to minimize visual impact and promote harmony between human-made and natural elements.
This architectural style is often employed in sensitive areas, such as national parks or wildlife reserves, where preserving the landscape is crucial. Examples include green roofs, earth-sheltered homes, and structures designed by architects like Peter Zumthor, who emphasize the importance of context in their work.
