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.

''Moss and Lichen'' is a celebration of the extraordinary biology, beauty, and resilience of two unassuming organisms. Endowed with unique abilities to thrive in extreme habitats, mosses and lichens defy easy categorization. Mosses, which are integral to the plant kingdom, and lichens, which are a kingdom unto themselves, colonize a variety of landscapes from rainforests to deserts to urban streets. Long neglected for lacking flowers, these organisms are now beloved for their significant role in maintaining the health of our world’s ecosystem.

Résumé:
Although Frank Lloyd Wright designed more than 1,000 projects during his long and prolific career, Auldbrass Plantation, in Yemassee, South Carolina, is the only plantation he ever designed. It is also one of the largest and most complex projects he ever undertook. Wright had an unusually intense commitment to Auldbrass and worked on it, off and on, for more than twenty years, from 1938 until his death in 1959. Because Auldbrass was private and because it fell into disrepair in the 1960's after the owners' death, it was rarely photographed or studied, and as a consequence little has been known about this major work. Now, with the completed restoration and new photography, this book affords the first opportunity to see one of Wright's greatest works, as the master himself originally envisioned it. Through photos, plans, and drawings, we see what Wright planned, and how it has finally all been either restored or realized for the first time.
