Nature has been a constant source of inspiration in the design of the human environment, and its influence on contemporary
design is more than evident. The "model of nature," with its forms, structures, and organizing principles, does not only inspire the
widest range of concepts and design processes, but also can be expressed in a broad spectrum of forms and functions.
Nature
Design
addresses this phenomenon from the eighteenth century until today, and presents an international selection of objects
and projects from the fields of design, architecture, landscape architecture, art, photography, and scientific research that do not
simply depict or imitate nature, but use it as a starting point and reservoir of inspiration for eclectic and innovative responses to
the relationship between man and his environment.
The book is divided into different sections: the historical and theoretical backgrounds of culminating moments in the relationship
between nature and design are exemplified in four "passages". They appear alternately with seven "thematic landscapes" in
which the whole spectrum of the inspiration of nature and the concern with its processes can be seen. The thematic landscapes
are: the sea, topographic concepts, the forms and materials of forests and of plants, anthropomorphic and zoomorphic
approaches, scent, and climate.
Nature Design is intended to show the multiple possibilities in the rediscovery and reinvention of nature, and to open up new
perspectives.
