Living Architecture
by RACHAEL ARMSTRONG
This is a book that delves into how the city of the future
will look like, how synthetic biology can remake our cities and reshape our
lives. The book stresses the need to begin to rethink how architecture is being
approached.
The book talks about different ways of making structures and
materials, suggesting that we can grow more ecologically compatible buildings by
using life-like technologies such as photocells. It explains the need for a new
architectural practice where cities would behave more like an evolving
ecosystem than a lifeless machine.
