Origins of Form is about the shape of things. What limits the height of a tree? Why is a large ship or office building more efficient than a small one? What is the similarity between a human rib cage and an airplane or a bison and a cantilevered bridge? How might we plan for things to improve as they are used instead of wearing out? The author has chosen eight criteria that constitute the major influences on three-dimensional form. These criteria comprise the eight chapters of the book: each looks at form from entirely different viewpoints. The products of both nature and man are examined and compared. This book will make readers—especially those who design and build—aware of their physical environment and how to break away from previously held assumptions and indifference about the ways forms in our human environment have evolved. It shows better ways to do things. The author’s practical, no-nonsense approach and his exquisite drawings, done especially for this volume, provide a clear understanding of what can and cannot be; how big or small an object should be, of what material it will be made, how its function will relate to its design, how its use will change it, and what laws will influence its development. The facts and information were gathered from many sources: the areas of mechanics, structure, and materials; geology, biology, anthropology, paleobiology, morphology and others. These are standard facts in these areas of specialization, but they are also essential to the designer’s overall knowledge and understanding of form. The result is an invaluable work for students, designers, architects, and planners, and an informed introduction to a fascinating subject for laymen.

The field of myofascial science is changing rapidly. In The Myofascial System in Form and Movement, Lauri Nemetz invites readers into the rich dialogue around movement, delving into anatomy, concepts of space, and the many other disciplines that are taking interest in the myofascial universe. Nemetz uses insights from our spatial relationship with the world to examine the human body, giving voice to the ideas and work of leaders in this area and prompting readers to develop their own ideas, as well as offering application suggestions to discover in your own body or with others. With an extensive background in art history, myofascial movement, anatomical dissection and more, Nemetz uses her wealth of experience to weave together the many facets of this evolving area in a visually rich and thought-provoking book.

――――176幅精繪插圖，探索一切形式的根源―――― 一部結合設計、自然、科學的萬物形式演化史 萬物的世界，一切皆非理所當然―――― 尺寸的極限 × 材料的可能 × 元素的關聯 × 機能與設計的仿生美學 三角形、方形、圓形為什麼最常出現？ 雞蛋的形狀和雨滴的形狀有何關聯？ 什麼樣的物件可能存在或不可能存在？ 什麼樣的建築應該建造或不應該建造？ 永續長存的形式的共通要素是什麼？ ★★主持人、作家 蔡康永 讚譽推薦★★ 【專業審訂】 呂良正 國立台灣大學土木工程學系教授、康乃爾大學理論與應用力學博士 劉曼君 中華工程教育學會（IEET）辦公室主任、克萊蒙研究大學高等教育政策與行政管理博士 █ 自然的物、人造的物，各種各樣的物如何成為今日的形式？ 無論是一個原子在大氣運動中的路徑，或者工匠工具的演變， 或是森林中、河岸邊一棵樹的生長， 都有其形式的成因和變遷發展的故事。 透過「形式」的演化，一切事物有了連結。 鍛鐵與茂盛生長的樹有相似之處，鐵橋與兀鷹中空的翅骨相仿， 植物葉片生長的形式與鹿角的曲線形狀相近。 在綿長的時間尺度中，動物植物、液體固體、山脈地景、玻璃鋼鐵…… 一個物件該有多大多小、什麼樣的材料可以做出怎樣的物件、 物件的形式與它的機能及它的設計之間的關係是什麼、 一個物件的使用會如何改變物件本身、哪些定律影響物件的發展， 種種問題都有了最適解答。 本書以「形式」為中心，探索萬物形式的根源和演化， 包羅範疇含括設計理論、力學、結構和材料領域、地質學、生物學、人類學、古生物學、形態學。 清晰易讀的闡釋說明、流暢優美的敘事、精繪細製的美麗插圖， 帶領讀者領略這個充滿魅力的主題，開闊視野， 而我們也能知道我們的世界如何成為今日的樣子。 █ 對我們所在世界的獻禮――――「被埋沒的珍寶……令人深深著迷」 樹木高度受哪些因素限制？大型船隻或辦公大樓為何比小型船隻或一般大樓效率更高？人類的胸廓與飛機、野牛與懸臂橋之間有何共通點？我們應該如何規畫，讓物件不會因使用而磨損，而且越用越好？本書作者提出對三度空間形式最具影響力的八種基準，分為八大主題，每個主題各構成一章，以完全不同的角度探索各種形式從何而來、往何處去，並仔細觀察及比較自然生成的產物和人工製作的物件。 本書激發讀者開始觀察周遭環境，拋開以往對人類環境中的形式演變的成見和漠不關心，並告訴讀者更好的設計方式。作者以實際且直截了當的筆觸，搭配特別為本書繪製的精美插圖，提供關於「形式」的整體知識和了解。 對學生、設計師、建築師來說，本書是價值非凡的作品；每一個關心自己所在世界的人，也可藉由本書踏入這個令人著迷的主題。 █ 對本書的讚譽 「形勢比人強？原意用在形容我們面對的處境，但用在萬物的形式（FORM）上也行得通，也就是形式比人強。萬物都是演化而來，其形式或形狀某方面來說都是最佳最強的！近年來流行的仿生學就是由生物的強項上獲得啟發，進而用於產品的開發與設計。本書深入淺出探討自然物和人造物的形式，把原本看似不相關的東西串連起來。萬物運行是否有統一定理可茲遵循？本書也許可以給我們部分答案……」 ――呂良正 國立台灣大學土木工程學系教授、康乃爾大學理論與應用力學博士 「作者以平易又流暢的文字，勾勒出天然和人造物質的形式及其形成原理，生動又饒富趣味，自然又蘊含深刻哲理；不知不覺中，讀者被鼓勵以不一樣的眼光反思我們的自然環境和周遭的事物，讓我們體悟到，大多數存在的物質確實已是文明演變下的最佳型態了。但就在這當下，作者又巧妙地提醒：現今所見的可能都是暫時的型態，人類文明的演變讓未來充滿了機會和可能性！」 ――劉曼君 中華工程教育學會（IEET）辦公室主任、克萊蒙研究大學高等教育政策與行政管理博士
