Ecology and the Architectural Imagination - Paperback

by Brook Muller (Author)

Author Brook Muller understands that your design tendencies influence your working methods and impact the "greeness" of your buildings. This book explains design strategies and emphasizes the importance of your poetic judgment when you're dealing with complex and dynamic ecological systems. Muller also speculates architectural possibilities when ecology is embedded in the design process from conceptual phases onward, how these impact the architect's role, and how ecosystems can inspire architectural space making and order.
