Short description Emergence provides an entirely new way of thinking about design, construction, and the environment and has captured the imagination of architects and students across the world. This is the first book to provide a detailed exploration of the architectural and engineering consequences of this exciting paradigm, and a detailed analysis of the geometries, processes, and systems to be incorporated into new methods of working. It introduces a new model of "Metabolism" that uses natural systems and processes, far exceeding the minimizing environmental strategies of "sustainability."
