Abstract :
Joe Kaplinsky takes issue with biomimicry and the idea that nature rather than mechanical solutions is the key to unlocking architecture. He argues that biological language and analogies diminish the real achievement of designers. He calls for a humanist sense of what architecture and engineering mean in the world.
