Structure in Nature by Peter Pearce
Out Of Stock | | The structural designs that occur in nature—in molecules, in crystals,
in living cells—appear in this fully illustrated book as a source of
inspiration and study of the design of man-made structures. In
particular, the book reveals that when the geometrical modular systems
developed by the author are applied to building design, the result is
adaptive, structurally sound, and economical environments. Pearce’s
work follows in the tradition established by D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson
and Konrad Wachsmann, and reflects his earlier close association with
Charles Eames and Buckminster Fuller. | | | |
