Taken from the ACTAR website on the new book by Josep Lluís Mateo, ETH Zürich.
Natural Metaphor, Architecural Papers III.

Description:

Written by cross-disciplinary authors across Europe, Asia, and America, this compilation of articles and images explores the use of forms in nature for diverse design approaches and perspectives. Nature has rendered poetic potential to stimulate, as a metaphor, the design process. From formal, conceptual, geometrical to literal engagements, the scope of potential correlations between nature and design is as far reaching as the human imagination.
