520    "Soft Living Architecture explores the invention of new 
       architectures based on living processes. It crafts a 
       unique intersection between two fast-developing 
       disciplines: biomimicry and biodesign in architecture, and
       bioinformatics and natural computing in the natural 
       sciences.This is the first book to examine both the theory
       and methodology of architecture and design working 
       directly with the natural world. It explores a range of 
       approaches from the use of life-like systems in building 
       design to the employment of actual growing and living cell
       and tissue cultures as architectural materials - creating 
       architecture that can change, learn and grow with us. The 
       use of 'living architecture' is cutting-edge and 
       speculative, yet it is also inspiring a growing number of 
       designers worldwide to adopt alternative perspectives on 
       sustainability and environmental design. The book examines
       the ethical and theoretical issues arising alongside case-
       studies of experimental practice, to explore what we mean 
       by 'natural' in the Anthropocene, and raise deep questions
       about the nature of design and the design of nature. This 
       provocative and at times controversial book shows why it 
       will become ever more necessary to embrace living 
       processes in architecture if we are to thrive in a 
       sustainable future."--Provided by publisher.
