Résumé:

An emerging concept in architecture, "The Organic Approach" is a search for critical tools through which spatial perception and production are better understood. Bringing together the work of renowned international theorists and practitioners in architecture, engineering, mathematics, computer graphics, biology, and critical theory, "The Organic Approach to Architecture" examines organicity from the perspectives of genetic technology, cyber and geometric morphing, environmentalism, landscape, and infrastructure.
