Description
This visually stimulating new book reveals the myriad of ways that architects are inspired by the natural world. Jodidio demonstrates the many forms that the interplay between built structures and their environment can take. He examines aspects of the relationship between nature and architecture, paying particular attention to nature as inspiration; the imitation and mimicking of natural patterns; landscape design; ecologically sensitive structures and artificial realities, among others.
Including plentiful images of such eye-catching structures as Herzog & de Meuron's 'sand surface' Schaulager and Gehry's 21-metre high fish sculpture restaurant, this wide-ranging book will prove a valuable and entertainingresource.
