Seller's Description:
Used-Good. Nature is the ultimate inspiration for artists, graphic designers, fashion designers, and interior decorators. By seeing lavish color photos of nature's influence on where we live and what we wear, it's easy to understand today's big return to natural design. You'll get to examine a saguaro cactus as a model of skyscraper engineering, an airport inspired by bat wings, and a London apartment inspired by cliff-dwelling tribes. Then you learn what influences you as, for example, you view the many natural objects that curl and coil into spirals (shells, nests, flowers, feathers, ferns, galaxies, hurricanes, the DNA molecule). Or, ask yourself why broccoli forms a fractal, or how a bird feather makes a perfect kind of clothing. Nature is the ultimate inspiration for artists, designers, and decorators--as these lavish color photos, which capture nature's influence on our homes and attire, beautifully reveal. You'll get to examine a saguaro cactus as a prototype for skyscraper engineering, an airport modeled on bat wings, and other surprising inspirations. Then learn what influences you as, for example, you view the many natural objects that coil into spirals (like shells and galaxies)--or see how birds' feathers' make a perfect kind of clothing! Book has minor shelf wear.
