The document discusses principles of life and biomimicry presented at NID Bangalore in June 2014. These include combining modular and nested structures like wasp nests and B-squares; building selectively with small subsets of elements like flat design and DNA; multi-functional design seen in Samsung Gear; maintaining integrity through self-renewal like lizards; incorporating diversity seen in Serengeti plains; and demand driven supply network production.

- Name of principle : Combine Modular and Nested Caption for Photo: Bsquare modular blocks Example Explanation: Bsquare is a consumer hardware manufacture company. Bsquares made by them are modular electronic building blocks which can be combined in various combinations to perform different functions. It’s a successful kickstarter projec which can be used with mobile phones.

- Name of principle : Build selectively with a small subset of elements Caption for Photo: Flat Design Example Explanation: Flat Design which is a trend in Mobile/Web UI interfaces started in 2013. Flat Design focuses on the function of the UI rather than embellishing it with skeumorphic properties like bevels and reflections. Windows Metro UI is an example of Flat design.

- Name of principle : Maintain Integrity through Self Renewal Caption for Photo: Lizard Tail Example Explanation: When a lizard tail falls off, a survival strategy, it can grow a new tail. This is self renewal at the organism level to regenerate a new organ.

- Name of principle : Maintain Integrity through Self Renewal Caption for Photo: Automated Demand Driven Supply Network Example Explanation: A supply chain where the demand automatically stimulates the production of newer goods/products. Instead of a top down traditional supply chain, DDSN can be automated to better serve the trends as well as to avoid wastage.

- Name of principle : Incorporate Diversity Caption for Photo: Tanzania Serengity Plains Example Explanation: From AskNature.org: “the more diverse the plant community, the better it resisted losses to grazers, partly because the species-rich areas included a wide array of plants that certain grazers found unpalatable and therefore avoided eating. The species-rich grasslands also showed greater resilience, rebounding from the effects of grazing and recovering to a full standing crop more quickly at the onset of the rainy season.” Reference Left Photo URL reference: http://www.asknature.org/media/image/3321 Right Photo URL reference: https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQcOGuUFU2z3vJWPqoEBa72KYfDQIzLMLLMzPlUOFC7Rq2_7Na0
- Name of principle : Incorporate Diversity Caption for Photo: Google Example Explanation: Google started as a search engine. Now they are into mails, mobile OS, PC OS, wearable tech and even as internet provider through Parachutes. They have a separate ‘Moonshots’ division which takes bold new bets in new industry thus diversifying their product line and saving themselves from going obsolete.
