From the Renaissance Wunderkammern to today’s CAD/CAM digital studiolo, this book traces the enduring presence of wonder as a lens for exploring the contemporary landscape of technosciences. The Cabinets of Curiosities of the past resurface as guiding metaphors, opening dialogues between Nature, technology, and the artificial creations shaping our age. Structured through visionary chapters — How to Make (Lighter, Smarter, More Connected…) — it examines the advances of materials science and biodesign in their biomimetic dimension. By embracing mirabilia as method, the book envisions a future where creativity, integration, and sustainability converge.
