Architectural Papers III
 
 
 
Written by a cross-disciplinary core of authors from Europe, Asia and America, this anthology comprises articles and images that consider the use of nature for diverse design approaches. Nature has rendered poetic potential to stimulate, as a metaphor, the design process. From formal, conceptual, geometrical to literal engagements, the scope of potential correlations between nature and design is as far reaching as the human imagination.

The ETH Zurich is a renowned European architecture institute. This is the third book in their acclaimed series. With: Inaki Abalos, Stan Allen, Manuel Castells, Catherine Dumont D'Ayot, Olafur Eliasson, Patrick Gartmann, Toni Girones, Christophe Girot, Alice Hucker, Christian Kerez, Mai Komuro, Michal Krzywdziak, Jonathan Lin, Josep Lluis Mateo, Marcel Meili, Paulo Mendes da Rocha, Renzo Piano, Florian Sauter, Frederic Schwartz, Ramias Steinemann, Peter St. John, Philip Ursprung, Maria Vine, Erwin Viray.
