Here is some more information from the publishers:

Architectural Inventions by Matt Bua and Maximilian Goldfarb and published by Laurence King in October 2012 presents a stunning visual study of impossible or speculative structures that exist only on paper.

While working on separate projects; Matt Bua on an insallation for Mass MoCa and Maximilian Goldfarb on curating an exhibition for ART Omi in Ghent NY, the pair discussed collaborating and developing an illustrated collection of improvised buildings. Bua and Goldfarb put a call out to a wide spectrum of professionals, including artists, architects and designers, with suggested categories such as ‘micro-community’, ‘pavillion’ and ‘medical’ and pretty soon hundreds of submissions came flooding in.

Goldfarb says “...we found that some additional categories emerged; we organized groups of drawings into these categories, and felt that it should be an archive that could be easily accessed and continue to expand...of course as an online archive we could effectively achieve this. We worked with a local designer (British expat Antony Katz, principal of SORTED Design in Hudson, NY) to develop www.drawingbuilding.org which we continue to add to as additional drawings continue to be sent to us.”

Architectural Inventions takes edited highlights from the online archive and presents them with short texts that introduce each category. Contributors include: Paul Nobel, Neil Spiller, VitoAcconci Studio, Future Farmers, SITE and Karim Rashid.
