Sinopsis

Tall Short explores the fascinating science and engineering behind verticality, examining how both nature and architecture achieve impressive heights. The book bridges biology, engineering, and architectural design to answer a fundamental question: how is height achieved and sustained? It reveals that structures, whether organic like redwood trees or man-made like skyscrapers, adhere to shared physical laws. For instance, the book highlights how evolutionary pressures drive height in nature for resource acquisition, much like structural innovations enable taller buildings.

 
The book begins by establishing a foundation in biomechanics and structural engineering, explaining load-bearing, tension, and compression. It then transitions to analyzing historical progressions of skyscrapers and evolutionary drivers in nature. A key insight is the application of biomimicry, where nature inspires sustainable architectural solutions. 

 
Through diagrams, case studies, and comparative analyses, Tall Short offers a unique, integrated perspective, revealing common ground between the natural and built environments, and appealing to students, architects, engineers, scientists, and design enthusiasts.

    DesignedUp is a practical, inspiring guide for modern designers working at the intersection of technology, consultancy, and agency life. It’s written for practitioners who choose to plot their own path across complex organisations, balancing competing priorities while striving to make meaningful impact. 
     
    Praised by John Maeda, VP of Design and Artificial Intelligence at Microsoft, as a refreshing antidote to career stagnation, and by Jeff Gotthelf, author of Lean UX and Sense & Respond, as a roadmap to redesigning how organisations work, DesignedUp tackles a challenge many designers know well: being undervalued, misunderstood or sidelined in tech-led environments. 
     
    When design is treated as a “nice extra” rather than a strategic driver, influence is lost. DesignedUp shows you how to change that. 
     
    Drawing on frameworks, methods, and real-world stories from global technology and design leaders, including Rebecca Parsons at Thoughtworks, Andreas Markdalen at frog, Lauren Pleydell-Pearce at PwC UK, and Andy Polaine, formerly of Fjord, this book shows you how to: 
     
    Harness your strengths 
    Speak the language of business and technology 
    Influence engineers, stakeholders, and executives 
    Make compelling design arguments that resonate 
    Turn leaders into design champions 
     
    DesignedUp helps you move from the margins to the centre, so design doesn’t just get a seat at the table, it reshapes it!

    Two of the biggest design problems in Artificial Intelligence are how to build robots that behave in line with human values and how to stop them ever going rogue. One under-explored solution to these alignment and control problems might be to examine how these are already addressed in the design of humans. 
     
     
     
    Looking closely at the human blueprint, it contains a suite of capacities that are so clumsy they have generally been kept away from AI. It was assumed that robots with features like emotions and intuition, that made mistakes and looked for meaning and purpose, would not work as well as robots without this kind of code. But on considering why all these irrational properties are there, it seems that they emerge from the source code of soul. Because it is actually this 'junk' code that makes us human and promotes the kind of reciprocal altruism that keeps humanity alive and thriving. 
     
     
     
    Robot Souls looks at developments in AI and reviews the emergence of ideas of consciousness and the soul. It places our 'junk code' in this context and argues that it is time to foreground that code, and to use it to look again at how we are programming AI.
