• W2199160017 abstract "Every day we get surprised and amazed by the huge variety of shapes and sizes of natural systems. We call it the“natural beauty” of the “wonderful mother nature” and this is nothing more than a way of expressing our inner feelingthat some order must exist behind the natural scenery. Our brain perceives it as “beauty”, which might be the firststage of a deeper and unifying perception that involves rationalization based on mathematics and principle.The previous lines might serve as a preface to the paper “The constructal law and the evolution of design in nature”[1] which is a comprehensive review in which the authors summarize recent applications of the Constructal Law. Theresults and examples provided by the authors show how a new principle sheds new light on old problems, and how itprovides a new unified understanding of complex systems.After many years of research on shape and structure of natural systems, I am pretty sure that the “Constructal Law”put forward by Adrian Bejan [2] provides the rationale for understanding the evolution of shape and structure in aunifying way in both natural and manmade systems. It is a fact that Constructal Law has been successfully applied todescribe and anticipate the unique features of a wide variety of systems [3–5]. Now, we are able to perceive naturaldesign as Nature fine art that has a rationale behind, such that our new feeling of “natural beauty” comprises also thescientific dimension of beauty. On the other hand, the Constructal Law makes it outdated and useless the “Theory ofintelligent design” put forward by some neo-creationists (see [6]).The Constructal Law is as general as the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics but has a very different scopethat makes it unique and complementary to those laws. While the First Law points to conservation of energy, both theConstructal Law and the Second Law point to change, i.e. to a direction in time. Though both these laws share thiscommon feature, they diverge as with respects to the scope. Contrarily to the Second Law, Constructal Law appliesto systems out of equilibrium, i.e., systems that evolve in time. While the Second Law deals with state variables, theConstructal Law combines flows and design (size, shape, structure).Constructal Law provides the foundations for both natural and engineered design to be viewed in the light ofscience. It opens new avenues of research in many fields from engineering and geosciences to life and social sciences.The reason for this ubiquitous applicability of the Constructal Law is rooted in the idea that what is important is not“what flows”, but how inner flows shape and structure the systems in an evolutionary way that points to better and" @default.
