Reseña del editor
Andreas Feininger selects over 130 photographs from 30 years of work to demonstrate the graceful interplay of form, function, and purpose in natural objects. The images, accompanied by the author's commentary, show how design in such deceptively simple things as shells, feathers, and animal bones reflects a variety of shaping forces, suggests principles applicable to many architectural and technical problems, and evokes nature's beauty. Feininger, a former architect and structural engineer, reveals how nature's engineering efforts are ingeniously conceived, flawlessly executed with a minimum expenditure of material, and invariably beautiful to the receptive eye. The magnified image of a clam shell suggests the grace and rhythm of a classical frieze; a cross section of a chambered nautilus demonstrates the mathematic precision of form.
