(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Carl Wiens. An informative introduction to the way the natural world can influence the built environment features discussion of global architecture and design that intentionally (and unintentionally) copies nature. Photos of real-life structures sit alongside appealingly straightforward hand-drawn images and diagrams. Several manageable activities demonstrating eco-design principles along with design-it-yourself prompts will inspire budding architects to consider the ways nature can help solve design challenges.
