Biomimicry: Living architecture. - Paperback

by Adrian Karl Gibbons (Author)

This book deals with the concepts of biomimicry, and applying it to architecture. Here I have applied natures evolution to architecture to create living buildings. These buildings are only conceptual, but the I try and theorise how we can create living architecture by biomimicry of nature. This concept of architecture I call living architecture, they would consist of a computer brain, and be alive, they could reproduce by themselves. Eventually with the help of evolution, the living buildings would become adapted perfectly to the environment in which they are in. These living buildings would have human occupants, there would be a symbiotic relationship between the architecture and the occupants. I have tried to emulate natures design applications and apply it to architecture, included is many of my concept drawings and theories about architecture . I have tried to examine what would happen if we created these living architecture and what they could turn into, for nature is not static it is a state of flux, man must create architecture that is alive and not static but changes to the environment and the occupants needs. I have done the artwork for the living architecture, I have imagined a possible outcome of using this concept, this is my vision.
