Architectural Exaptation: When Function Follows Form (book launch)

Premiere event and lecture celebrating the launch of "Architectural Exaptation: When Function Follows Form," authored by SoAD Prof. Alessandro Melis, Telmo Pievani, and Jose Antonio Lara-Hernandez (Routledge, 2024). The lecture will be moderated by Prof. Athina Papadopolou.⁠
⁠
The book investigates the significance and originality of studying exaptation as a means to expand the taxonomy of architectural design towards more ecological positions. In the context of ecological positions, the book aims to reframe creativity, especially in architecture, as an integral part of biological evolution rather than a mere departure from it, challenging the traditional Promethean notion of creation ex nihilo. The book argues that exploring the concepts of exaptation in architecture reinforces the value of interdisciplinary studies bridging evolutionary biology, paleoanthropology, genetics, and architecture, particularly in times of global environmental crises.⁠
