![]() ![]() Former library copies are never graded above "Good" regardless of level of wear. Our grading system is based mainly on Amazon's grading system. We do not follow ILAB grading guidelines as we sell newer books across many venues. Some books are beyond help and will be listed as "Fair/Acceptable" or "Poor". These repairs do not usually change the underlying condition grade, but do make the book more presentable. Any significant repairs such as a hinge-tape repair will also be noted. We do not do major binding repairs, and any un-repairable binding splits or general weakness in binding will be noted. Basic repairs include repairing slanted bindings, applying additional glue to hinges that have become excessively loose, hinge-tape repairs for damaged hinges, minor binding split repairs, gluing small tears in exterior of covers, removal (as much as possible) of black marker marks to covers of ex-library books, removal of smaller non-permanent stickers, straightening of minor bowing to covers or spine, and applying jacket protectors to books with torn or fragile jackets or for especially pristine or collectible books. We thoroughly clean all books that we offer for sale and do all basic book-repairs ourselves. We are a mail-order only bookstore located in Bellingham, WA specializing in modern out-of-print books of all genres.

"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title. The thir part contains the proceedings of the 'Differentiated Systems in Nature and Design Symposium' held at the AA, with contributions by Mark Burry, Christopher Hight, Wolf Mangelsdorf, Peter Trummer, Julian Vincent, Michael Weinstock. The first part of the book introduces the theoretical and methodological framework for their approach the second part presents 20 research projects undertaken by students in AA Diploma Unit 4. They have named this approach Morpho-Ecology. Correlating morphogenesis and ecology, they have developed a new framework for architectural design that is firmly rooted within a biological paradigm, and thus concerned with issues of higher-level functionality and performance capacity. Through their teaching at the AA, Michael Hensel and Achim Menges have shown how this definition also suits the discipline of architecture surprisingly well: one of the central tasks for architects is to provide opportunities for habitation through specific material and energetic interventions in the physical environment. Ecology is the study of the relationship between organisms and their environment. ![]()
