A longed-for reprint now available. Animals made constructions tens of millions of years before the emergence of the human species, not to speak about our conception of architecture. They have also made what can be called architectural inventions, such as doors equipped with hinges and handles, fake doors meant to bluff the enemy, or transparent windows. Many animals also(...)

Cet ouvrage présente non seulement les multiples formes que prend le nombre d'or dans la nature, les arts, l'architecture, la musique et les sciences, mais aussi des variantes comme la spirale d'or dans l'oreille interne humaine. Enrichi de plus 300 illustrations et graphiques, le texte examine à fond la question captivante de la genèse de l'univers et du "plan divin" secret mis au jour.

Des modèles d'organisation structurelle des cristaux jusqu'à la forme du relief terrestre, les différentes approches de la nature minérale servent à apporter de nombreuses clés à l'architecture : des solutions pratiques aux problèmes structurels, une meilleure adaptation de l'édifice à son environnement ou des règles de croissance des unités architectoniques, à des échelles distinctes. Cette sélection de réalisations architecturales conçues à partir d'interprétations personnelles du monde minéral, est complétée par quelques réflexions qui invitent à rechercher de nouvelles manières de faire l'architecture, en prenant comme point de départ l'étude de la géologie.

Summary:
This book offers a paradigm shift in how we design and build our buildings and our communities, one that recognizes that the positive experience of natural systems and processes in our buildings and constructed landscapes is critical to human health, performance, and well-being. Written for architects, landscape architects, planners,developers, environmental designers, as well as building owners, this publication is a guide to the theory, science, and practice of biophilic design. Twenty-three original essays written by scientists, designers, and practitioners, including Edward O. Wilson, Howard Frumkin, David Orr, Grant Hildebrand, Stephen Kieran, Tim Beatley, Jonathan Rose, Janine Benyus, Roger Ulrich, Bert Gregory, Robert Berkebile, William Browning, and Vivian Loftness, among others.

Summary:
The purpose of investigating the overlaps between architecture and biology is neither to draw borders or make further distinctions nor to declare architecture alive, but to clarify what is currently happening in the blurred fields, and to investigate the emerging discipline of biomimetics in architecture. An overview of the present state of research in the relatively young scientific field of biomimetics shows the potential of the approach. The new discipline aims at innovation by making use of the subtle systems and solutions in nature having evolved within millions of years. Approaches that have been taken to transfer nature's principles to architecture have provided successful developments. The new approach presented in this book transfers the abstract concept of life onto built environment. Strategic search for life's criteria in architecture delivers a new view of architectural achievements and makes the innovative potential visible.

A look at how nature serves as a source of inspiration for contemporary architecture. Nature has always furnished stimulating ideas for the design of architecture, and the use of animal forms in contemporary architecture—whether to endow a project with symbolism, find a functional solution, or simply for aesthetic reasons—has become a commonplace practice. Inspired by Nature: Animals focuses on specific analogies, comparing and contrasting techniques and materials used in animal constructions with examples of human architecture. It gathers together the work of two dozen architects who have drawn on such structures as tortoise and snail shells, spiders’ webs and birds’ nests, beehives and beaver lodges.

Today, through recourse to the most advanced digital tools, architects envisage projects which evolve according to principals similar to those found in nature. The architecture is therefore designed like an organism in constant adaptation, with the ability to evolve in close interaction with the material conditions of its environment. Broadly exceeding the boundaries of their practice, architects now develop a practice at the crossroads of design, computer science, engineering and biology. Conditions for production in the domain of architecture are radically redefined by this convergence, as well as by the constant evolution of the processes and tools for digital manufacturing.
