Notes from the Underworld: An Architectural Exploration Stefano Corbo. A rare look at old and new subterranean structures from an architect’s perspec- tive, this seminal book examines the underworld through the lenses of wartime, life and death, religious and sec- ular rituals, and adaptive reuse. The 80 international projects range widely in time period and type, from an Arctic seed bank to a Beirut nightclub under a former military helicopter pad. All are surprising examples of how invisible man-made spaces follow the same cultur- al and economic cues as their visible counterparts. • 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" (215 x 165 mm) • 90 color and b/w images • 144 pp. • 978-0-7643-5840-1 • HC • $24.99 / £22.99 / $35.99 CAD Ponce City Market: The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of Atlanta’s Largest Building Blake Burton.
