Biodesign in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Deep Green
Book information
Description
Biodesign in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Deep Green investigates the potentialof nature-based technology for shapingthe evolution of contemporary architectureand design. It takes on the now pervasivetopic of design intelligence, extending itsdefinition to encompass both biologicaland digital realms. As in their first title, Systemic Architecture: Operating Manual for the Self-Organizing City, the authors engage the topic throughthe specific lens of their innovative designpractice, ecoLogicStudio, and their researchat the University of Innsbruck and at theBartlett, UCL. Part One of the book, entitledPhotoSynthetica™, illustrates designsolutions that engage the urban microbiomeand seek to achieve an immediateimpact, while Part Two, entitled DeepGreen, includes synthetic landscapes andoperates within a much larger spatio-temporalframe, going beyond human perceptionand life span to envision design as ageographical and geological force. In the age of catastrophic climate change,such perceptual expansion helps to clarifythat change cannot simply be stoppedor rolled back. We must instead establishmore positive dynamics of change withinthe living world. To this end, this book proposesto engage with design and architectureas an extended cognitive interface, asentient being that is co-evolutionary andsymbiotic with the living planet, contributingto its beauty and to our continued enjoyment of it.

Professional Linux kernel architecture ''Wrox programmer to programmer''--Cover. - ''What you are reading right now is the result of an evolution over more than seven years: After two years of writing, the first edition was published in German by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2003. It then described kernel 2.6.0. The test was used as a basis for the low-level design documentation for the EAL4+ security evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, requiring to update it to kernel 2.6.18 (if the EAL acronym does not mean anything to you, then Wikipedia is once more your friend). Hewlett-Packard sponsored the translation into English and has, thankfully, granted the rights to publish the result. Updates to kernel 2.6.24 were then performed specifically for this book''--P. ix
