| Sumario: | "This book presents an emerging and often radical approach to design that draws on biological tenets and even incorporates the use of living materials into structures, objects, and tools. Each chapter introduces a different theme, from designing for ecological integration to the use of speculative deisgn and art as a teaching tool. Taken together, several of the projects profiled here reflect a pervasive shift in societal priorities, toward sustainable approaches to building and manufacturing. This unifying prupose is driving increased collaboration between designers and biologists--an essential ingredient in many of the projects--and offers thrilling new forms and functions. This new edition brings together the most inspiring recent examples of biodesign from around the world" --p. 8
