Borrowing from nature is nothing new; designers have been looking to the natural world for inspiration for centuries. For some, this has been purely on an aesthetic level, for a select few on a functional level. Fewer still combine these considerations to produce designs that mimic both the forms and properties of natural structures. This volume chronicles the growing field of bionic architecture; structures that look to do just that.
