Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. We humans owe an immense architectural debt to many other species. Indeed, the first hexagons humans saw may have been in honeycombs, the firstskyscrapers termitaries (termite high-rises), and the first tents those of Africanweaver ants. In The Monumental Impulse, art historian George Hersey investigatesmany ties between the biological sciences and the building arts. Natural buildingmaterials such as wood and limestone, for example, originate in biologicalprocesses. Much architectural ornament borrows from botany and zoology. Hersey drawsstriking analogies between building types and animal species. He examines therelationship between physical structures and living organisms, from bridges tomosques, from molecules to mammals. Insects, mollusks, and birds are given separatechapters, and three final chapters focus on architectural form and biologicalreproduction. Hersey also discusses architecture in connection with the body'sinterior processes and shows how buildings may be said to reproduce, adapt, andevolve, like other inanimate or 'nonbiotic' entities such as computer programs androbots. The book is both learned and entertaining, and is abundantly illustratedwith fascinating visual comparisons. Art historian George Hersey investigates the many ties between the biological sciences and the building arts.
