From leaves to liquids, caves to crystal formations, the natural world has always been a major source of inspiration for architects. This book examines how nature can act as a precedent for design solutions, looking at a variety of case studies embracing geological formations, plants and branching systems and animal structures. Illustrated with drawings, computer images, photographs and models, Biomorphic Structure is a stimulating, accessible guide for students and an inspiration for practicing architects.
