The Nature of Design: Richard James MacCowan, Biomimicry UKKTN
The Knowledge Transfer Network is building a new UK network, showcasing the benefits of new product development design teams inspired by nature. This event showcase how biomimicry and nature inspired solutions are being used in established innovation processes from a section of innovative companies and it’s an opportunity to learn about how to implement and benefit from Nature Inspired Solutions.
What are Nature Inspired Solutions?
In the past Biomimicry or Biomimetics started from simple imitation of natural organisms. Over time, it has evolved through integration and combination with modern science and engineering to help us discover new materials, ways of combining nano/microstructures, applications, and alternative ways of production and process design thinking leading to nature inspired or bio inspired engineering. Rather than imitating the whole plant, animal or biological process, nature-inspired solutions aim to uncover the underlying mechanisms and apply them in the design of new products, processes or systems in a structured way.
This Nature Inspired Solutions Special Interest Group (NIS SIG) aims to convene and grow the nature inspired solution community and accelerate innovation through cross-sector collaborations.

Learn about the different schemes to ensure wood is derived from an appropriate source and where our wood comes from. The key forest management certification schemes, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and those endorsed by Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), such as the Australian Forestry Certification Scheme (AFCS) and the associated chain-of-custody, are explained. Where wood and other wood products come from will be discussed as will how to reduce the risk of purchasing wood products that may be from illegally logged sources.
Bima propone oficinas abiertas
Una estructura vanguardista de oficinas abiertas con puestos integrados y sin paneles divisorios es la promesa de Muebles Bima a través de su programa Bima Proyectos. Su propuesta es el sistema de mobiliario Bench, para crear espacios de trabajo más eficientes y siguiendo las últimas tendencias en manejo organizacional a nivel mundial.
El fundamento de este sistema parte de la idea del trabajo en el mesón de la casa, concepto que se extrapoló a las oficinas y así surgió esta tendencia, según la cual los trabajadores ejercen sus funciones de manera conjunta y en espacios amplios, con pequeñas pantallas divisorias donde se integran tecnológicamente las piezas de cableado, sin elementos que estorben sobre la superficie, lo cual favorece al intercambio de ideas y la creatividad.
Este diseño se aplica a cualquier tipo de organización y oficina, es de base minimalista blanca, trabajada con separadores de colores neutros para evitar distracción visual. Comúnmente estos elementos divisorios suelen ser de vidrio con una capa de color agradable a la vista, de altura media y de longitud variable permitiendo así una interacción efectiva.
La innovación del sistema Bench radica en que no existen piezas que obstruyan el lugar de trabajo u obstaculicen la movilidad, razón por la cual los estantes de almacenamiento se ubican en los extremos y de esta manera se complementa la unidad. De acuerdo a la distribución del lugar, Bima Proyectos incluye alas en la estructura del sistema las cuales ayudan a optimizar todos los espacios.
La arquitectura del mobiliario permite crear puestos individuales y áreas colectivas, siguiendo su objetivo principal, estimular la comunicación y la creatividad entre los trabajadores.

The terms “hardwood” and “softwood” are often misleading because they have no direct relation to the actual physical hardness or softness of the wood, so that a hardwood may actually be softer than a softwood.

Tree House Hideaway : Eco Tourism and Sustainable development in Bandhavgarh ...Pugdundee Safaris
Tree House Hideaway, an eco lodge of Pugdundee Safaris, is a result of ever changing strategies. With initial plans to construct over 20 rooms, we convinced the owners of changing the concept to a lodge that up to date only counts 5 exclusive Tree Houses, leaving over 95% of the property untouched and reserved for wildlife. Our policy is to practice sustainable wildlife tourism under high standards, returning back to all main keys of eco sensitivity, namely environmental, social-cultural and economic development.
Tree House Hideaway has contributed to the growth of natural habitat due to responsible tourism and property management adding a small, yet significant area for wildlife to freely move around!

Find out how wood construction can contribute to a sustainable building. Using scientifically based life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology, this session demonstrates why wood products are better for the environment than other materials in terms of indicators such as global warming potential and resource depletion. LCA is becoming the world standard for evaluating the sustainability of materials and assemblies and improving environmentally based decision-making. See why wood from well-managed forests and plantations is a good choice when it comes to climate change.
This presentation demonstrates how the fire performance requirements in the Building Code of Australia (BCA) for Class 1a, Class 2, 3 & 9c as well as Class 5,6 9a & 9b buildings can be met. In this context, the presentation provides verified construction details that utilise the BCA's deemed-to-satisfy provisions.
This presentation provides guidance on coatings used for interior and exterior wood surfaces to enhance appearance and/or the natural durability. Selecting the appropriate coating product is essential to maintain visual appeal and ongoing performance of the wood.
Every wood species has characteristics that can affect the application of products. It is important to know about the wood being coated and how to reference manufacturers' product literature for specific recommendations.
Discover the different methods of gaining Green Star credits using wood and wood products in the built environment. Topics of interest include chain of custody and forestry management certification schemes: indoor air quality issues for composite wood products, and easy ways of specifying and obtaining appropriate documentation for wood and wood products, in order to obtain credits.
The presentation addresses the thermal comfort requirements of the NSW Building Sustainability Index (BASIX) and how lightweight wood-based construction systems can be easily used to meet these requirements. Emphasis is placed on simple techniques to insulate walls, roofs and sub-floor areas of suspended floors for new construction as well as alterations and additions. The presentation will highlight cost effective design and building details, ventilation issues and smart use of thermal mass.
This presentation, which includes termite management techniques, will help improve the specification and design performance of wood in construction.
The presentation uses structural engineering criteria, years of experience and field trials and predictive modelling to provide guidance on methods to increase the service life of woods used in Australia.
Also covered are the affects of natural variation between wood species, the effectiveness of wood preservative treatments and climatic conditions.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
