All this leads me to suspect that the study of biological form should be a
part of architectural education--that would be quite a change! Well,
perhaps I can *make* it part of mine.

i recommend everyone read greg lynn's new book Animate_Form, at least the
opening essay which touches on this topic. it is a convincing essay about
his design strategies and how they differ from all previously cited examples
given(wright, sullivan, etc) in that it includes the component of
time(animate) throughout the design process analogous to biomorphogenesis.
previous examples rely on resemblance of form or metaphor rather than
performance and instrumentality.
