Towarda Living Architecture?examines the emerging field of generative architecture and its nexus withcomputation, biology, and complexity. Based on Christina Cogdell's field researchin architecture studios and biological labs, this book critiques generativearchitecture by evaluating its scientific rhetoric and disjunction from actualscientific theory and practice, definitively explaining the role of the naturalsciences within contemporary architecture.
