Pangolin's Guide to Biomimetics and Digital Architecture
Sites Books,
From the Publisher:

The pangolin functions as a tour guide and mascot, frequently interjecting comments that make the brief format dense with illustrated ideas and modes of designing, yet comprehensible as an introduction to the experimental ideas. The comic illustrates how biomimetics—the search for form and systems in nature—can be used to integrate natural processes with experimental design and digital production to conceive, visualize, generate, and model architectural and design.... more information
