The new approach presented in this book transposes the subtlety of real-life biological systems onto the built environment. It delivers a wholly new perspective on architectural achievements and will help to manifest the approach's huge innovative potential.

Petra Gruber is an architect with a strong interest in biology and interdisciplinary studies. She has worked in renowned architecture companies until the founding of her on venture transarch in 2008. Her work as university assistant at the Vienna University of Technology has led to extensive research in the field of biomimetics, summarised in the doctoral thesis that was the basis of this book. She is integrated in international scientific networks and currently involved in research projects, teaching, consultancy and publications in biomimetics.
