Biodesign + Nature + Art + Creativity by William Meyers "Featuring 73 projects at the intersection of biology and design, it surveys artworks, prototypes and architectural concepts that harness living materials and processes, presenting bio-integrated approaches to achieving sustainability, new innovations enabled by , and provocative experiments that deliberately illustrate the dangers and opportunities of manipulating life for human ends.
