Similar to Biomimicry is the practice of learning from and then emulating life’s genius to solve human problems and create more sustainable designs (20)
2. • "Bios" means life, and "Mimicry" means imitation.
• Biomimicry is the practice of learning from and then emulating
life’s genius to solve human problems and create more
sustainable designs.
• Biomimicry is a branch of science, a problem-solving method, a
sustainability ethos, a movement, a stance toward nature, and a
new way of viewing and valuing biodiversity.
3. • Biomimicry is an interdisciplinary approach to study and
transfer principles or mechanisms from nature to solve
design challenges, frequently differentiated from other design
disciplines by its particular focus on and promise of
sustainability.
• Some examples of biomimicry ideas that help the environment
are an oil-repellent coating inspired by water bugs, or using
prairies as a model to grow food sustainably.
• It is the practice that learns from and mimics the strategies
found in nature to solve the problems(human-made challenges)
7. ELEMENTS OF BIOMIMICRY
• EMULATE- The scientific research-based practice of learning from and
then replicating nature’s forms, processes, and ecosystem to create
regenerative designs.
• ETHOS- The philosophy of understanding how life works and then
creating designs.
• RE(CONNECT)- The concept that we are nature and find value in
connecting to our place on earth. It is a practice that encourages us to
observe and spend time in nature to understand how life works so we
have a better ethos to emulate biological strategies in design.
8. BENEFITS FROM BIMMIMICRY
• Biomimicry brings relief
• Biomimicry is generous- circularity, sustainability, regenerative
• Biomimicry gets us faster to sustainable results.
• Biomimicry changes the lens in which we view the world.
