Biomimetic Research for Architecture and Building Construction
- There does no comparable book exist dealing with bio-inspired construction technology and architecture in the depth and width as this book
- The authors of the book chapters are worldwide renown specialists in their respective field of research
- Bio-inspiration in technology and architecture is of more and more increasing interest as well in research as in application and represents one of the most discussed and fascinating topics as well in translational biology as in architecture and construction technology
- The “biomimetic promise”, i.e. biomimetic solutions have an especially high potential to be sustainable and ecologically friendly solutions is a widely accepted idea and will be discussed in detail in some of the chapters of this book. This discussion is also of general interest for the public and in politics
- To sum up: With bio-inspired and the potential for more sustainable architecture and construction technologies the book meets some of the most urgent problems in a world with increasing population that more and more accumulates in megacities and deceasing resources
