A wonderful exposition of work and ideas toward integration of building and landscape. It has enough fantasy to satisfy visionaries and enough structure to tickle the most basic armature driven designer. The total oeuvre of Ambasz stands as a triumph of imagination in a world still dominated by fundamentalist modernism. Ambasz stands or flies in the manner of an Icarus or a Prometheus to comfort us with the message that all is not lost and the horizon is full of exciting possibilities for the physical design disciplines.
