Gruene Kathedralen
("Green Cathedrales")

We stocked the first book "Das Weidenbaubuch" due to popular demand (whenever we showed our book to a group of people there was somebody there mentioning that they really would love to buy this book...) and due to the fact that there simply is not anything even remotely similar on the english market.

This is the follow-up book, with more projects that have been built in different communities.

Marcel Kalberer is an architect who has found his niche in constructing large willow structures which are shown in this book.
The results are simply astonishing and give a whole new perspective of "willow work".

Mainly colour, some black & white photographs
