摘要

A brand-new book titled Shape and Structure, from Engineering to Nature offers important insights into a global process of optimization, and how we might proceed with engineering design to change our future. It offers entirely original, new perspectives that could help the engineers in all branches find new paths, new inspirations, and new roles of engineering in society. Everywhere we look today, from education, business and politics to the Nobel prize, engineering is either low or not at all on the ladder of respect. However, all in the field will agree that the engineering reality is a lot brighter. An idea coming from this fascinating book is that we as engineers, with our language and feel for the concept of objective, constraints, and optimization, are ideally positioned to play more important roles in society; to define the theoretical agenda not only for life science, but for economics, business and society as a whole, in this new century.Shape and Structure, from Engineering to Nature was written by professor Adrian Bejan who spent more than a decade doing survey research to discover the values we in engineering hold dear. He finds that optimized geometries such as the round ducts, I-beams, tree-shaped flows, streets and highways, and the river cross sections emerge not only in our minds and on our drafting tables but also in nature. In this groundbreaking book, Bejan starts from the design and optimization of engineered systems and discovers more a general, deterministic principle for the generation of geometric form in natural systems. He calls this the "constructal" law of maximizing access (migration) for things that flow, or minimizing flow resistance, time, cost. This observation leads him to formulation of constructal theory, which is a hierarchical way of thinking that accounts for organization, complexity and diversity in nature, engineering and management.
