Book Hero thinking about your next read

Li: Dynamic Form in Nature

Welsh Border architect David Wade has spent a lifetime gathering and organising the extraordinary families of surface patterns that nature throws up at every scale. In this book, illustrated by the author, we see branching patterns, animal spots, crack patterns and much, much more.

Why does Nature use the same special patterns over and over again? What are the main families of natural design? How are they formed? Did the ancient Chinese really study this subtle and elegant subject?

In this beautiful book, illustrated by the author, a new perception of organic pattern, Li, is presented for the first time in the West. Essential reading for designers, artists, philosophers, and natural scientists.
