In the sciences, Emergence is an explanation of how natural systems have evolved and maintained themselves, and it has also been applied to artificial intelligence, information systems, economics and climate studies. The potential of the mathematics of Emergence that underlie the complex systems of nature is now being realised by engineers and architects for the production of complex architectural forms and effects, in advanced manufacturing of ‘smart’ materials and processes, and in the innovative designs of active structures and responsive environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Architecture of Emergence\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to provide a detailed exploration of the architectural and engineering consequences of this paradigm, and a detailed analysis of geometries, processes and systems to be incorporated into new methods of working. It sets out a new model of ‘Metabolism’ that uses natural systems and processes as a model far beyond the minimising environmental strategies of ‘sustainability’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor more information, visit \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.architectureofemergence.com\"\u003ewww.architectureofemergence.com\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471723020524,"sku":"9780470066331","price":75.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780470066331-the-architecture-of-emergence.jpg?v=1775250411"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/michael-weinstock.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
