About the Book
What do nature, material science, and architecture have in common?
How can designers learn from nature to develop water smart architecture?
With the ever increasing world population, atmospheric temperatures, and decrease in rain and snowfall, these questions need to be asked. Humans are facing severe water scarcity, so innovative water harvesting techniques need to be discovered.
This book investigates alternative ways to achieve this, in order to provide fresh, local water to those in need.
