There is evidence that the human brain consists of a specialized subsystem for processing natural stimuli. This hypothesis is related to research showing that certain classes of living things cause aesthetic and restorative responses. This body of evidence is used to support biomorphic approaches to art and construction. Different examples of such biomorphic proposals are presented, based on core principles of complex systems theory. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
