We call the  mechanism behind this unintended creativity of nature &#8216;BI&#8217; &#8211; Biological  Intelligence. The design and construction of a building is very much  like the creation of life. The intention of BI is to understand how life  is born, withers, born again, and to follow the principles of evolution  so architecture can also enter a sustainable cycle of design,  construct, operate, and disassemble and regenerated according to its new  condition.<\/p>\n<p>The three categories: &#8216;Origin&#8217;, &#8216;Form&#8217;, and  &#8216;Interface&#8217; loosely resembles lives&#8217; condition of &#8216;Habitat&#8217;, &#8216;Physical  Form&#8217; and &#8216;Interaction with outside&#8217;. Each category contains three  modules; all the nine modules contain elements that architects have been  familiar with for thousands of years. They exist as nine toolboxes that  architects need and use during the design process &#8211; the creation of  architecture.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>BI<\/strong><\/em> is a bigger box that  holds the nine boxes together. The same way as nature never intends to  create anything, most of architecture&#8217;s great inventions aren&#8217;t created  intentionally. Rather than boosting design creativity, the mechanism  introduced in this book proves to accompany architects strolling through  the maze of architecture, improving the creation of architecture  similarly to how nature creates itself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rather than boosting design creativity, the mechanism we introduce in this book proves to accompany architects strolling through the maze of architecture improving the creation of architecture similarly to how nature creates itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14468,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5559],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-14467","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-architecture-landscape-design","7":"author-by-author-ching-hwa-chang","8":"author-by-author-ying-chao-kuo","9":"publisher-oro-editions","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>BI: the origin of architectural creativity - ACC Art Books UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Title: BI: the origin of architectural creativity, Pages: 338 Pages, Publish Date: 24th Sep 2020, Author: Ching-Hwa Chang, Ying-Chao Kuo, ISBN: 9781943532988.
