Dig it! showcases buildings from the past millennia that integrate the ground and the structure. From African churches chiseled from rock and Chinese villages dug into the terrain to a villa built into the cliffs of Capri, this global survey by Bjarne Mastenbroek features analytical drawings by SeARCH and the photography of Iwan Baan.
Building is one of very few endeavours that are physically connected to the surface of the earth, fixed and enduring. Nevertheless, for centuries, especially in the West, we have considered ourselves separate and above nature, drifting away, defining our own systems and order, and using the ground as a nothing more than a passive foundation. Other times we sought connection, drawing on nature for ritual and religion, fortified protection, and ecological balance.

This global compendium of nearly 1,400 pages brings architecture back in harmony with Earths surface. For years, Bjarne Mastenbroek and his architectural firm, SeARCH, have delved into the relationship architecture has, had, and will have with its surroundings, seeing buildings as landscapes that fit into their site without dominating or disturbing it. For Dig It!, they have dug deep into the history of building culture and brought to light fascinating examples of this philosophysome well known, some previously overlooked.

From African churches chiseled from rock and Chinese villages dug into terrains to Parisian housing vibrantly overgrown and a villa built into the cliffs of Capri (famously featured in the film Le Mpris starring Brigitte Bardot), this book dissects structures from the past millennia. Part atlas, part encyclopedia, it highlights traditional vernacular practices, reconsiders all-time favorites, and celebrates contemporary examples across the globe. Designed by Mevis & Van Deursen, the extensive collection features analytical drawings from SeARCH and photo essays by Iwan Baan.

Dig It! acknowledges an effort to reconnect architecture and landscape and merge building with ground. Separated into six chapters (or strategies)Bury, Embed, Absorb, Spiral, Carve, and Mimicthis remarkable survey reveals humanitys connection to the earth through building culture: clever and utterly relevant for the challenges that we have and will face in both urban and natural environments.

Perfect Fit for Full Cooling System Overhaul on BMW 330xi
I ordered this Engine Coolant Hose (part #11537545890) for my 2006 BMW 330xi as part of a comprehensive cooling system overhaul. Along with this hose, I had my mechanic replace the thermostat, water pump, radiator, expansion tank, and all other related hoses. This hose fit exactly as expected—no issues during installation. It’s been three weeks since the job was completed, and everything is performing flawlessly. No leaks, no warning lights, and the engine temperature remains stable under all driving conditions. Although this is not a genuine OEM part, the quality appears solid and it matched up perfectly with the original in terms of length, shape, and connector alignment. For anyone looking to refresh their aging BMW’s cooling system, this hose is a reliable and cost-effective option. Just be sure to verify the part number for compatibility before purchasing. Highly recommended if you’re doing preventive maintenance or replacing a failed hose as part of a larger cooling system repair.
