W.W. Norton, 2008. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. This publication explores how botany and nature serve as inspiration for contemporary architecture. Botanical drawings accompany photographs and plans of buildings across the world, demonstrating the influence of nature and underlining why natural forms create good models for structures. The title is divided into sections discussing light and spatial arrangement, water control, temperature control, extreme conditions, defense, and homologies; though it is short in text, it is long in full-color illustrations, and would prove interesting to even casual aficionados of modern architecture.
