Mario Cucinella's Architectural Autobiography Investigates How Design Can Learn from the Natural World
Excerpt: 'The Future is A Journey to The Past, Ten Stories About Architecture' by Mario Cucinella
Mario Cucinella is founder of Milan- and Bologna-based Mario Cucinella Architects (MCA), as well as the SOS School of Sustainability. In his most recent book, the Italian designer has compiled an architectural autobiography of 10 travel stories, spanning from Iran and China to Ireland and the Maghreb, that offer lessons on how architecture can learn from the natural world. “They are not nostalgic tales,” he says, “but the discovery of a past in which to seek lots of information that can help us in our journey to the future.” Following is an excerpt from the preface.
