Description

The Constructal Theory proposed by Adrian Bejan in 1996 is a deterministic principle for self-organization and self-optimization of natural systems. Its quantitative and holistic approach, which builds and ensemble from small, diverse building blocks, mirrors the logic of growing of natural systems. This is the first book of a new series devoted to workshops of FGE of the UNIL.
