Summary:

"D-B-A explores physical as well as digital design and architecture based on biological forms. Fusing Leibniz's 18th-century metaphysic with Richard Dawkins's 20th-century theory of the meme, D-B-A simultaneously interweaves Louis Sullivan's "botanic architecture" as developed in his A System of Architectural Ornament with current design, contending that architecture is a waylaid biological extension of its builders - an extended phenotype as Dawkins would call it. Dennis Dollens also explores the use of software such as Xfrog in order to grow building elements in his own work, for example his 2004 spiral bridge (influenced by the sponge euplectella), as well as in Duncan Brown's experimental game spaces."--Jacket.
