★ 探討「生物設計×人工智慧」如何重塑建築與城市未來★ 從都市微生物到地質尺度，拓展設計的時間與空間想像★ 結合實務案例與學術研究，提出設計作為「共生系統」的全新觀點在人工智慧與氣候危機交織的當代，設計的角色正快速轉變。本書《Biodesign in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Deep Green》由創新設計團隊 ecoLogicStudio 主導，延續其前作《Systemic Architecture》，進一步提出「設計智慧」不僅屬於數位領域，也深植於生物系統之中。全書分為兩大部分：第一部分「PhotoSynthetica™」聚焦於都市尺度的應用，透過介入城市微生物生態系，發展能即時回應環境的設計方案；第二部分「Deep Green」則將視野擴展至更宏觀的時空尺度，探索合成地景與長時間演化過程，將設計視為一種影響地理與地質的力量。作者結合於 University of Innsbruck 與 UCL Bartlett School of Architecture 的研究成果，提出設計應被理解為一種延伸的認知介面——一個具有感知能力、能與地球生命系統共演化的存在。在無法簡單「逆轉」氣候變遷的現實下，本書主張我們應建立新的正向變化動能，讓建築與設計成為維繫地球美感與生命力的重要角色。這不僅是一本關於未來設計的書，更是一份重新思考人類、科技與自然關係的深刻提案。Biodesign in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Deep Green investigates the potential of nature-based technology for shaping the evolution of contemporary architecture and design.

The images also tell a story that is still unfolding today, that of the institutionalisation of research. From the very beginning a systematic
