Scottish zoologist D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson's visionary ideas in
On Growth and Form continue to evolve a century after its
publication, aligning it with current developments in art and
science. Practitioners, theorists, and historians from art,
science, and design reflect on his ongoing influence. Overall, the
anthology links evolutionary theory to form generation in both
scientific and cultural domains. It offers a close look at the ways
cells, organisms, and rules become generative in fields often
otherwise disconnected. United by Thompson's original exploration
of how physical forces propel and shape living and nonliving forms,
essays range from art, art history, and neuroscience to
architecture, design, and biology. Contributors explore how
translations are made from the discipline of biology to the
cultural arena. They reflect on how Thompson's study relates to the
current sciences of epigenesis, self-organization, biological
complex systems, and the expanded evolutionary synthesis.
Cross-disciplinary contributors explore the wide-ranging aesthetic
ramifications of these sciences. A timeline links the history of
evolutionary theory with cultural achievements, providing the
reader with a valuable resource.
