Experiments in form: A foundation course in three-dimensional design

As a new approach to three-dimensional design, this provocative book is based on the notion that design goals - in fields such as architectural, furniture, product, and industrial design - should be based on the need to fulfill performance objectives. Using nature as a model, the authors describe design processes that lead the designer of the built environment toward solutions which are adaptive, functional, and energy efficient. 9x8", xi+146 pp, b&w illustrations and photographs.
