Description

Soft Living Architecture explores the intersection of biomimicry and biodesign in architecture, and bioinformatics and natural computing in the natural sciences. This book examines the theory and methodology of working directly with the natural world to create buildings that can change, learn, and grow. It delves into approaches such as using life-like systems in design and employing living cell cultures as architectural materials. The author raises questions about what it means for 'nature' in the Anthropocene era, and explores the role of design in shaping our relationship with the environment. This thought-provoking book presents a compelling vision for sustainable architecture that is both speculative and inspiring.
