This highly readable and informative book by Augustine Ong Wing explores the science of adaptive ecologies and architecture in today's modern world and the sustainability of infrastructure within that setting to create optimal outputs for services and the manufacturing industries. I have always been interested in adaptive architectural designs since I first discovered Frank Lloyd Wright and his works. This superlative book, 'Automated Ecologies: Towards an Adaptive Ecology of Mind and Material and Intelligent Machines is highly informative and is useful and ground breaking for the layman as well as the professional in the field. It explores subjects such as, autonomous adaptation, cybernetic ecologies, materialisation and the immaterial, ecology, mode of consumption and the operation of capitalism in a digital enhanced environment for the 21st Century and beyond. A marvellous and thought provoking thesis of great erudition and depth which will have you riveted to your seat from the first page to the very last page. Highly Recommended. Great Buy.
