The tree is the natural flow design that evolves to achieve flow access between one point and a volume. Alternating trees achieve flow access between two planes. Natural porous media such as soil exhibit multi-scale flow structures consistent with the multiple scales and performance of alternating trees.

“The Evolving Design of Our Life” Adrian Bejan’s article in LA+DESIGN magazine

As an interdisciplinary journal of landscape architecture, LA+ DESIGN magazine delves into the role of design in times of transformative technological and environmental change where nothing on Earth, or even in space, seems beyond the reach of designers.

In the last issue (09, Spring 2019) of LA+DESIGN engineer and physicist Adrian Bejan outlines his constructal law, which predicts natural design and its evolution in engineering, scientific, and social systems in his article “The Evolving Design of Our Life“.
