Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references.
Summary:
"From the notion of tropism - the directional movements of growth (turning) made by organisms under the influence of external forces - Ton Verstegen tries to connect language and architecure. After an exploration of the figure of the turn in a variety of fields such as biology, aesthetics and literature, the author confronts this figure with (computer) architecture, in which movement and dynamics play a central role."--Cover.
