Condizione: acceptable. The item is very worn but is perfectly usable. Signs of wear can include aesthetic issues such as scratches, dents, worn and creased covers, folded page corners and minor liquid stains. All pages and the cover are intact, but the dust cover may be missing. Pages may include moderate to heavy amount of notes and highlighting, but the text is not obscured or unreadable. Page edges may have foxing age related spots and browning . May NOT include discs, access code or other supplemental materials.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A richly illustrated overview of the work of Neri Oxman, whose design approach embodies the union of technology and biology, as well as a future where we build with nature.Mediated Matter is the first comprehensive overview of Neri Oxmans groundbreaking design work. Oxman has forged a singular career across design, science, and engineering over the past twenty years that includes founding the field of material ecology. Trained as a medical doctor and an architect, she brings to design a spirit of inquiry and experimentation that includes a future-forward approach to materialsfrom silkworm thread to automated microrobots to a water-based robotic platform that 3D-prints structures made from biopolymers. In her work at the MIT Media Lab, she and her team designed products, structures, and environments as interactive entities that are environmentally informed, biologically augmented, computationally grown, and digitally manufactured.Through richly detailed diagrams, explanatory texts, process documents, and breathtaking photographs, the book examines the six primary topicsbiopolymers, cellular solids, fibers, functional pigments, organic comb, and symbiotic microbesat the heart of Oxmans key projects as well as their potential for use in the built environment. Scientifically rigorous and abundantly imagined, this novel publication, like its author, is a future-facing manifesto for a true symbiosis of nature, humans, and design. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
