Designers and artists have always looked to nature for inspiration and materials, but only recently have they been able to alter and incorporate living organisms in their work. In a world with finite resources and a growing population, design that mimics or appropriates the sustainable template of nature is likely to prove as vital as it is novel. Bio Design examines some seventy projects (concepts, prototypes and completed designs) that cover the fields of architecture, industrial processes, education, fine art, material engineering and bioengineering. Each project is illustrated by a short text, images and captions that combine to explain the problems the venture tackles, and how living materials and processes were harnessed to solve them in sustainable and aesthetically pleasing ways. Many of the solutions also provoke thought about manipulating life for human ends. From bacteria that can spin microfibrils of pure cellulose for use in the clothing industry to pigeons that – fed special bacteria – excrete harmless detergent instead of faeces, and from lamps that require blood to function to genetically hacked plants with human DNA – biological design is science future here and now.

其实只关注了Kac部分…总的来说也不乏有用的东西，但是许多建筑设计利用植物，感觉就有点，不实际？

读的很快其实，一些前沿设计，不一定实用，不过也不错

bioBrick, bioMimicry, bioConcrete, bioArchi, ... 我觉得可以拿bio开头来组词 这本书章节划分很酷 项目介绍有张有驰 在这个时间节点上算得上难得的介绍生物艺术与设计的好书～
