Le costruzioni animali sono di solito viste come prodotti affascinanti del mondo biologico, ma umanamente privi di significato. Tuttavia, i nidi animali, i dispositivi di cattura e altre costruzioni sono così vari e ingegnosi nel loro uso di materiali, forme, principi e tecniche di costruzione, e così superbi nelle loro prestazioni funzionali, che superano le qualità delle costruzioni umane. Le costruzioni animali sono il prodotto di milioni di anni di evoluzione e adattamento, e questi processi comprendono anche una scelta estetica deliberata. Nell'attuale era di crisi ecologica possiamo sicuramente imparare modi sostenibili di costruire dagli architetti animali.

Toward a Living Architecture? examines the emerging field of generative architecture and its nexus with computation, biology, and complexity. Based on Christina Cogdell’s field research in architecture studios and biological labs, this book critiques generative architecture by evaluating its scientific rhetoric and disjunction from actual scientific theory and practice, definitively explaining the role of the natural sciences within contemporary architecture.

Bionik ist ein faszinierendes Grenzgebiet zwischen Grundlagenforschung und praktischer Anwendung, zwischen Architektur und Biologie: Die Analyse biologischer Konstruktionen kann zu verblüffenden technischen Lösungen führen. Das Buch verfolgt an einer Vielzahl von Beispielen den Weg von der Erkenntnis, wie etwas funktioniert, über die Abstraktion in Computermodellen und den Bau erster Prototypen bis zur funktionierenden Fertigung und Produktion. Nature has always been a source of inspiration for the design of the human environment. The analysis of biological constructions can not only lead to astonishing technical solutions but can also inspire the design of architecture. Bionics is a fascinating border area between pure research and practical application: biologists, chemists, physicists, mineralogists, and paleontologists meet up with material scientists, engineers, and architects and transfer their knowledge to architecture and construction. Using numerous practical examples, this richly illustrated introduction traces the process from the understanding of how something functions, to abstraction-for example in computer models-and the construction of initial prototypes, through to fully functional manufacture and production.
