Recenzii
D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson's Generative Influences in Art, Design, and Architecture offers a significant contribution in its explication of the interrelationships between art, architecture, design, and biology and in situating Thompson's biological model within a broad cultural frame.
D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson, in his beautifully written book, On Growth and Form, describes how if artists wanted to look for beauty in nature, they would have to turn to science. The present new volume is a fitting tribute to this accomplished thinker.
The life and work of D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson is a reminder of what can be achieved when we remove the silos into which so many academic disciplines have been confined. By revealing Thompson's immense influence, this book offers a profound argument for the interdependence of art, science and technology.
