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.
