Produktbeschreibung
The issues of the organic/inorganic, animate/inanimate and natural/technological are of paramount importance in the field of architecture both in current discussions about digital architecture and in classical debates from Vitruvius onwards. This book investigates the complex relationship of architecture to biological life, providing theoretical and historical underpinnings for a variety of contemporary debates in and around architecture. With discussion focussed on the Renaissance, the eighteenth-century and the late twentieth-century, this book will have a broad appeal to those with interest within and beyond architecture.
Considering the historical links between architecture and the development of life sciences, this text focuses on particular times of great change in these disciplines and the complex relationships between life and the environments that life creates.
