Biomimicry is incredibly useful, as it allows us to learn from nature’s3.8 billionyears of experience in expert design solutions. Everything that nature designs provides maximum returns with minimal effort and resources. However, it is important to understand that nature is patient and didn’t fo...
Years later, the undulating shapes Hall had seen on wings used in motorsports spurred him to study biomimicry, specifically the tubercles on humpback whale fins. This led to the 454 and 858 NSW with their Sawtooth rim shapes. “If you think of most of the aerodynamic surfaces on a car, ...
Because the science of biomimicry is just decades old, many of the school’s teachers were never exposed to the topic when they were students. So part of the focus of Biomimicry Education Day was giving the St. Antonius teachers the knowledge and tools they’d need teach lessons on biomim...
Micro-planning is based on biomimicry, “a practice that learns from and mimics the strategies found in nature to solve human design problems — and find hope along the way.” Prolonged stress, like the kind experienced during a global pandemic of unknown length, can cause a significant decreas...
He is still planning on doing a PhD in the field of Biomimicry. He is currently teaching at the Department of Architecture in Huizhou University. He is also a co-founder and a partner of an architectural consultancy back home. Topic My Person...
do more with less—increase human productive capacities by employing new, “advanced” technologies (Brand 2010); re-imagine our approach to technology and design, as with the principles of biomimicry (Benyus 1997) and biophilic design (Kellert et al. 2008); rethink our approach to production ...
One notable initiative is the Biomimicry Institute's Youth Design Challenge, which encourages students to develop sustainable-living solutions by emulating nature's own ingenious methods. Students are challenged to identify a problem, study how nature has solved similar challenges, and propose innovative...
researchers. It is actually called Biomimicry. This process helps us develop new materials which bring up new production possibilities. We can observe the nature, learn from it, and use it to our benefits. For more information aboutbiomimicry, don’t hesitate to check out our last blog post ...
into social insect behavior. First up will be Dr.Ted Pavlic(Arizona State University, Associate Director for Research atThe Biomimicry Center at ASU) who will talk about how social insects make group decisions and how that knowledge can be transferred to create smart and adaptive teams of robots...
Tightening certain muscles can also transform the texture of their skin to look like the smooth ocean floor or a craggy reef. Sound impressive? That's child's play compared to what the mimic octopus can do. The Mimic Octopus: Octopus Biomimicry The mimic octopus is a master of disguise, ...
