商品描述

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 Oxman's 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 materials--from 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 topics--biopolymers, cellular solids, fibers, functional pigments, organic comb, and symbiotic microbes--at the heart of Oxman's 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.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書豐富地插圖概述了 Neri Oxman 的工作,她的設計方法體現了科技與生物的結合,以及一個我們與自然共建的未來。

Mediated Matter 是 Neri Oxman 開創性設計工作的第一本全面概述。過去二十年來,Oxman 在設計、科學和工程領域中開創了一條獨特的職業道路,包括創立材料生態學這一領域。她接受過醫學和建築的訓練,將探索和實驗的精神帶入設計,並採用面向未來的材料方法——從蠶絲到自動化微型機器人,再到一種基於水的機器人平台,該平台能夠 3D 列印由生物聚合物製成的結構。在麻省理工學院媒體實驗室的工作中,她和她的團隊設計了作為互動實體的產品、結構和環境,這些實體在環境上受到啟發、生物上得到增強、計算上生長,並以數位方式製造。

通過豐富詳細的圖表、解釋性文本、過程文件和驚人的照片,本書探討了六個主要主題——生物聚合物、細胞固體、纖維、功能性顏料、有機梳和共生微生物——這些主題是 Oxman 主要項目的核心,以及它們在建成環境中的潛在應用。這本科學上嚴謹且富有想像力的新出版物,與其作者一樣,是一份面向未來的宣言,呼籲自然、人類和設計之間真正的共生關係。
