This is a capstone video on the use of biomimicry as a tool to find solutions for common design problems.

Understanding life’s principals: using biomimicry to communicate design intent. An analysis of how problems are solved in the natural world can yield useful communication tools for the designer to communicate his or her design intent to potential clients.

Safer Chemistry through Biomimicry. This video explores nature-derived solutions to chemical toxicity monitoring, waste mitigation, and chemical spill clean-up.

Before you begin designing, it’s important to not only determine up front what functions and context the solution must reside in, but to make a sustainable design commitment by also incorporating each of life’s principles into the design brief. By …

Function is critical to communication in biomimetric design. Function is the pivot between life’s wisdom and what we are trying to achieve intentionally. The first step in applying a biomimicry approach to your design or challenge is to identify what …

Biomimicry (from bios, meaning life, and mimesis, meaning to imitate) is a scientific design discipline that seeks sustainable solutions by emulating Nature’s time-tested patterns and strategies. The core idea is that Nature, after 3.8 billion years of research and development, …
