The Architecture of Trees is a botanical masterpiece. It contains over 550 quill-pen drawings of 212 tree species, with and without foliage, to a scale of 1:100. Inaddition, it offers a study of shadow and colour, providing a new perspective on each of the species. This historical study, now in Spanish, is a standard forarchitects, designers, botanists and all those with a fascination for nature and trees.

Created by Andrea Cavani and Giulio Orsini, founders of the Cesare Leonardi Architectural Archive, this book illustrates the outset, development andadvances of Cesare Leonardi and Franca Stagi’s research into trees.
