Summary:
Digital-Botanic Architecture (D-B-A) explores physical as well as digital design and architecture based on biological forms—especially plant morphology. Fusing Leibniz’s eighteenth-century metaphysic with Richard Dawkins’ twentieth-century theory of the meme, D-B-A simultaneously interweaves Louis Sullivan’s “botanic architecture,” as developed in his A System of Architectural Ornament, with current design, contending that architecture is a waylaid biological extension of its builders—an extended phenotype, as Dawkins would call it.

Summary:
"Modernism: designing a new world" is the first book to explore Modernism in the designed world from a truly international perspective, and across all the arts. It offers a reassessment of the idea of Modernism and reveals the fundamental ways in which it has shaped our own world and its visual culture. Modernism flourished during the years 1914 to 1939. As a movement it was the key point of reference for 20th century architecture, design and art. Modernists had an utopian desire to create a better world, frequently combined with social and political beliefs that design and art could transform society. The range of objects illustrated – including painting, sculpture, film, photography, prints and collage as well as architecture, interiors, furniture, manufactured products, graphic and fashion design – reflect the period’s emphasis on the unity of the arts and the key role of the fine arts in shaping contemporary visual culture. Europe and America take centre stage but the reach of Modernism is demonstrated by selected works from around the world, including Russia, Palestine and Japan.

Summary:
Czech architecture evolved in a powerful cultural and historical environment that undoubtedly placed a greater emphasis on the conception of architectural forms than the various formal innovations that are seen around the world, innovations that all too frequently employ an approach akin to the design of car bodies while departing from the traditional notion of architecture. Certainly it does not strive to be exhibitionist. Contrary to that, in this country, architecture continues to be viewed as a traditional cultural discipline, and Czech austerity persists in expanding this cultural nature of architectural work rather than enthusiastically accepting as of yet insufficiently digested forms.
