Book Description
Organic architecture offers a design approach arising from natural principles, bringing us back to local history, tradition and cultural roots to give us built forms which are in harmony with Nature. It shows how architects can take advantage of the resources that contemporary technology has placed within our grasp.The book gives an informative, inspiring overview of the drive towards organically informed design both intrinsically and aesthetically using a wide variety of international examples.Beautiful book inspires readers to design with the environment in mind. Comparative study of the engineering principles in nature and built structures outlines the fundamentals of architectural design. International examples show how architects use different locations and climates to inform specific biological forms and techniquesAuthor Javier Senosiain is an architect and an historian. He has pursued his interest in Organic Architecture across the globe drawing parallels between Buckminster Fuller’s Geodesic dome and the spider’s web; between Santiago Calatrava’s Cathedral of St John in NY and the roots of a tree. Where nature has inspired form, Senosiain has made a career of analyzing and applying the principles he sees in some very creative writing and architecture.
