Realms of Impossibility

Architectural Fragile Earth: Ground, the newest edition in the cutting-edge C . J. Lim/Studio 8 Architects series, presents architectural designs whose inspiration is the membrane. Presenting previously unpublished designs for architectural skins, surfaces, walls and enclosures from the world's leading architectural schools as well as such well-known names in architecture and engineering as Ove Arups, this fascinating volume proves how seamlessly science and art can merge. Featuring the series' hallmark eclectic mix of thoughts and observations and projects from both obscure and celebrated
architects, Architectural Fragile Earth: Ground, brings some of the best creative work in architecture today together in a single volume.

A hall of suspended goldfish. An elastic-powered flying suit. An inhabitable cloud. Realms of Impossibility: Air, Ground and Water is a celebration of unlikely things in a likely world. This three-volume series tells the parallel story of man's occupation of the skies, earth and oceans, dovetailing between environments to shape a composite graphic narrative. Part anthology, part guidebook and part fable, these books represents a new breed of architectural publication, interfacing with the worlds of the internet, film, literature and travel.
