The Dusk of Design explores the intersection of evolutionary theories
and architectural design. Drawing inspiration from the concept of
exaptation in biology, the book argues that natural selection, as the
most successful designer on our planet, thrives on the diversity,
variability, and redundancy of creative structures. By transferring
these mechanisms to architectural design, the book contends that we
can cultivate more resilient and sustainable architecture and cities
in the face of environmental crises. This book seeks to illuminate the
profound potential of multidisciplinarity by examining case studies
from architecture worldwide. By exploring how evolutionary theories
can explain various architectural phenomena, it aims to inspire
architects, designers, researchers, and students to adopt a holistic
and transdisciplinary approach to their work. The book provides a
clear and concise overview of evolutionary principles, demonstrating
their relevance to architecture.It will showcase a range of case
studies that highlight the application of evolutionary theories in
solving architectural challenges, such as adaptive reuse, sustainable
urban planning, and resilient design in the face of climate change.
Ultimately, "The Dusk of Design" aims to bridge the gap between
biology and architecture, presenting a fresh perspective on how we can
create more innovative, sustainable, and resilient built environments.
