SynopsisIncluding architectural analysis of structures built by animals and insects as well as human designs based on these structures, this book illustrates Tsui's premise that some of the strongest and most efficient forms of architecture known to mankind are actually derived from nature's models. It features many case studies of his building designs-from a home that mimics a nautilus shell to a room extension that features hinged dragonfly roof ventilation wings., About Eugene Tsui and evolutionary architecture ...; "Eugene Tsui is a polymath, a kind of genius....; His evolutionary ideas fit my image of a desirable, feasible future. The 21st century needs ideas like his that conserve space, energy, and materials without offending aesthetics." -Dr. Richard MeierProfessor of Architecture, Planning, and Environmental Design University of California, Berkeley "[Tsui's] drawings, models, and buildings look like buildings from a Spielberg film, circa 3000....; Eugene Tsui's designs defy the imagination. He is bringing a different view to architecture." -Rocky Leplin The Associated Press "Welcome to the evolutionary architecture of Eugene Tsui...;a place where everything is possible, and the mind is constantly being tested and stimulated to open and explore yet another new opportunity....; Tsui's philosophy of architectural design goes against practically everything people have come to know about architecture." -Beverly R.
