520 8 Designers and artists have always looked to nature for
inspiration and materials, but only recently have they
been able to alter and incorporate living organisms in
their work. In a world with finite resources and a growing
population, design that mimics or appropriates the
sustainable template of nature is likely to prove as vital
as it is novel. 'Bio Design' examines some seventy
projects (concepts, prototypes and completed designs) that
cover the fields of architecture, industrial processes,
education, fine art, material engineering and
bioengineering. Each project is illustrated by a short
text, images and captions that combine to explain the
problems the venture tackles, and how living materials and
processes were harnessed to solve them in sustainable and
aesthetically pleasing ways. Many of the solutions also
provoke thought about manipulating life for human ends
