Geo-engineering, synthetic biology, construction site co-robotics, low-energy fabrication, up-cycling waste, minimally invasive design, living materials, and molecular self-assembly are just a few of the important advances explored in the book. At one extreme are massive public works, at the other, micro to nano-sized interventions that can have equally profound impacts on our world. From terraforming to bio-manufacturing, a new generation of designers is proposing unique ways of confronting the difficult challenges ahead. In this way design becomes a totality of relationships that affects all disciplines, which can no-longer be thought of as self-contained fields, each handled separately by narrowly focused specialists. --Provided by publisher.ArchitectureEnvironmental aspectsSustainable architectureArtEnvironmental aspectsArchitectureEnvironmental aspects.Sustainable architecture.ArtEnvironmental aspects.720.47Joachim Mitchell1617771Silver Michael1964-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817670803321XXL-XS3949100UNINA
