Research and Markets: Versatility & Vicissitude Discusses the Performance and Interaction With Natural Ecologies

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c85193) has announced the
addition of "Versatility and Vicissitude: Performance in
Morpho-Ecological Design" to their offering.

   Versatility & Vicissitude progresses the discussions initiated by
the earlier two titles of AD (Emergence, May 2004, and Techniques and
Technologies in Morphogenetic Design, March 2006) further by placing
the spotlight on performance and interaction with natural ecologies.
The exchange between the performance of a designed artifact and the
specific contexts and the users are investigated. Thus
morpho-ecological design becomes a new mode of achieving truly
integral design solutions in collusion with natural ecologies and a
powerful, cutting-edge alternative model for sustainability.
