| Summary: |
"This book explores experiences in the emerging area of morphogenesis, in the specific meaning of architecture. This process of architectural form-finding will be analyzed as an effort to balance perceptive efficiency with functionality. It analyzes efficient cases that bound shape within the limits of spaces made for human usability and interaction"-- |
