This may be my favorite book. It is a collection of essays by noted and respected individuals, such as Tristan d'Estree Sterk, in the many subfields of responsive architecture.

Although you won't get an extremely in-depth view of any of the various paths architects and others are taking, the reader will learn about the wide range of topics one can explore within the field. Topics range from tensegrity in man-made materials to tensegrity and extreme flexibility in plants, from art installations to the future of architecture. There is a wealth of information neatly packed into the wonderfully written short articles.

I lent this to a friend about a month ago and my greatest fear is that she will never return it. I can see myself using it as a reference and pleasure reading for years to come.
