自然界中的多樣性與美麗總是令人嘆為觀止，我們把這意想不到的創造力背後的機制稱為「BI生物智慧(Biological Intelligence)」。設計與建造一座建築與創造一個新的生命有著極高的相似性，我們可以藉由對生物智慧的理解來學習創造永續的建築。由生物智慧所啟發的四個面向「起源」、「型態」、「界面」、「循環」各自包含數個模組，如同設計者的工具箱，助益建築創造與設計的流程。本書以九典聯合建築師事務所的案例，示範BI生物智慧如何引導我們創作豐富多樣的建築。「《BI生物智慧—建築創意的源頭》（英文書名BI：the Origin of Architecture Creativity），是受達爾文“On the Origin of Species”(《物種起源》)的啟發，大自然自我創造，沒有意圖，也沒有藍圖，卻成就如此令人驚豔的生態系，而且生生不息，這其中的奧秘其實很簡單，也正是我們創造建築時最該師法的。達爾文的《物種起源》顛覆了人類對自己來自何處的了解，我們希望以他為師，顛覆人們對建築創意的了解。」—九典聯合建築師事務所共同創辦人 郭英釗
