Biomimicry and biophilia as a powerful business tool nature's inspirationMaclay Architects
In this talk at the Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility Spring 2014 Conference, Bill Maclay gives examples of biophilic workplaces in Vermont. The talk is part of a workshop titled "Nature's Inspiration: Biomimicry and Biophilia as a Powerful Business Tool" which was lead by Stephen Keller, Bill Maclay, Sarah-Lee Terrat, and Michael Dupee. Workshop details below.
Nature's wisdom and inspiration can be a successful tool for generating design solutions in today's business environment. As humans, we have lived in the bounty of nature for thousands of years and are hardwired to appreciate living systems. This love of engagement with nature is called biophilia. In observing nature's evolution we can learn from the innovative creation of new materials, forms, and living organisms. This learning from living systems is called biomimicry. This forum will explore the emerging fields of biophilia and biomimicry: What are they? How can they be used successfully in business? What are practical and successful examples? And how can they apply to small, medium and large businesses in Vermont today?

Green Building Envelopes 101 was given as a 2 hour presentation at the National Building Envelope Council Conference in Winnipeg, Manitoba in May 2011.
This is a detailed presentation that looks at carbon neutral design protocol and compares it to LEED Platinum. The presentation examines the LEED credits for those useful in targeting a low carbon building.
Earth and bamboo are two materials which have been used together for a wide range of traditional construction techniques in Southeast Asia. Both materials are locally abundant and affordable materials with a very low carbon footprint. Both are known to be materials of the people. And both are materials which can be used for crude self-construction or with highly engineered precision. Are earth and bamboo only materials of the past, or are they also materials for the construction of a sustainable future? Please come to discover yourself in this 5-day hands-on workshop at Auroville. The same workshop format will be offered four time in the year 2015.
Wood A Natural Choice - How the Building Material Contributes to Sustainable ...Think Wood
This presentation contributes to the discourse on sustainability that is driving ongoing improvement in the way buildings are designed and constructed. Specifically, it focuses on the growing trends of wood use as a low environmental-impact building material and the effect green building rating systems have on design choices.
The project consists in the creation of an artificial tree that breathes, purifies air and that holds pollutants with its artificial leaves treated with the product (photo-catalytic Titanium dioxide - TiO2).

n September, at the
third annual Green
Carpet Fashion
Awards Italia, fiber
producer Aquafil
provided a design showstop-
per—a sustainable carpet
made with Econyl regener-
ated nylon that is created
from discarded fishing nets
and other nylon waste.
Covering Milan’s Piazza
della Scala, the green carpet
spanned more than 21,000
square feet and welcomed
celebrity guests including
Vogue editor-in-chief Anna
Wintour, fashion designer
Stella McCartney, actor
Colin Firth and actress
Sophia Loren.
The event celebrated fash-
ion houses’ commitment to
sustainability as they work to
embrace rapid change while
preserving the heritage and
authenticity of small-scale
producers. As in previous
years, the Econyl carpet was
produced in collaboration
with the Danish Company,
European manufacturer Ege
Carpets, and for the second
year, designed by Vogue
Editor Hamish Bowles.
“We are privileged to
partner with the Green
Carpet Fashion Awards
Italia for the third year run-
ning”, said Giulio Bonazzi,
Aquafil president and CEO
“Honoring the endless possi-
bilities offered by our Econyl
regenerated nylon, which
can be used both in fashion
and design, Aquafil is turn-
ing a waste problem into
exceptional solutions.”
Each year in the U.S., four
billion pounds of carpet
is tossed in landfills. Most
carpets are made primarily
from finite resources such as
oil-based plastics that could
be recycled, yet only 5% of
carpet waste is recycled. To
tackle the issue, Aquafil’s
Econyl fiber is 100% regen-
erated nylon yarn from
waste that is used widely in
commercial carpeting. To
make its fiber, the company
rescues waste from a number
of sources including fishing
nets, carpets, fabric scraps
and industrial plastic.
To help these recycled
fibers, Aquafil has a carpet
recycling plant in Phoenix
that opened in 2018 and has
the capacity to collect and

VOC emitting material.
• Materials and Resources—
In terms of Building Life
Cycle Impact Reduction,
Econyl has an 80% reduc-
tion on global warming
potential compared to
virgin nylon. And regarding
Sourcing of Raw Materials,
Econyl comes from 100%
waste material of which a
minimum of 50% post-
consumer waste is certified.
• Innovation—Econyl fos-
ters advancement of the
circular economy through
nylon regeneration, going
beyond recycling ...
Assignment of Wood and Grass Workshop -- Yun Geng Light (云耕)cocoachen1992
This is a light design for a workshop named Wood and Grass Life Workshop, which was launched in Design of School, Hunan University.
The name of our series lambs is Yun Geng (云耕). “Yun” in Chinese means Cloud. As we all know, most of terraced fields are located in mountains, therefore, terraced fields are always surrounded by clouds in the early morning, which forms a variety of amazing scenery, as seen above. “Geng” in Chinese means cultivate, till, farming. When people refer to this word, maybe you will think of the hard-working farmers, who are cultivating in terraced fields. That’s source of our light name.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Hello everyone! I am thrilled to present my latest portfolio on LinkedIn, marking the culmination of my architectural journey thus far. Over the span of five years, I've been fortunate to acquire a wealth of knowledge under the guidance of esteemed professors and industry mentors. From rigorous academic pursuits to practical engagements, each experience has contributed to my growth and refinement as an architecture student. This portfolio not only showcases my projects but also underscores my attention to detail and to innovative architecture as a profession.

10. Can you explain the process of a designed thing, such as a mobile phone? What are the main stages in the life cycle of the product? What does the designer need to consider if the design is going to be effective, popular, successful, trendy, perhaps in terms of a classic design or a cult object?
11. 4 main stages in the life cycle of a designed ‘thing’: 1. Introduction 2. Growth 3. Maturity 4. Decline
15. Hierarchy of Needs Creativity Proficiency Usability Reliability Functionality The seminal work on the concept of hierarchy of needs is Motivation and Personality by Abraham Maslow, Addison-Wesley, 1984

30. a = designer b = client c = customer/user of the product
31. Now the customer or user of the designed object/thing/space is becoming more central to the design process. The key word here is integration/integrated designing processes. a = designer b = client c = customer/user of the product
32. Design is becoming more and more customer/user oriented. You can inform design more than you think – but how?

41. What does it mean – ‘Green Design’ "eliminate negative environmental impact completely through skillful, sensitive design". (a) Sustainable designs purposefully avoid using non-renewable materials such as PVC plastics which derive from oil, a material we cannot make. Sustainable design can positively affect the microcosm (small, everyday objects) to the macrocosm (buildings and cities.) Design is a verb (action) and a noun (a thing or object). Sustainable design looks at what happens to the object after the customer buys them, for example, how long does the product last (durability) and how does it affect the environment after the user is finished with it. References: (a) McLennan, J. F. (2004), The Philosophy of Sustainable Design
42. What are the important design principles associated with green design today?
43. What does it mean – ‘Green Design’ * Low-impact materials: choose non-toxic, sustainably-produced or recycled materials which require little energy to process. * Energy efficiency: use manufacturing processes that require less energy to produce the designed ‘thing’. * Quality and durability: longer-lasting and better-functioning products will have to be replaced less frequently, reducing the impacts of producing replacements. Going against design trends which have a predetermined built in obsolescence to them, e.g. Apple products. * Design for reuse and recycling: "Products, processes, and systems should be designed for performance in a commercial 'afterlife'.“ (b) References: (b) Anastas, P. L. and Zimmerman, J. B. (2003). Through the 12 principles of green engineering. Environmental Science and Technology, March 1. 95-101A.

45. Cotton requires lots of water. For example, approximately 10,000 – 17,000 L of water is required to produce 1 Kg of cotton lint. This heavy water requirement has led to water shortages in many areas of the world with the Aral Sea area being a notable example.
46. Over 73% of cotton fields world wide are irrigated (Kooistra and Termorshuizen, 2006).
47. The main raw material used to produce polyester is oil. Oil is a non-renewable resource therefore polyester production is a not sustainable practice. Polyester is not biodegradable which means that any polyester textiles that end up in the land-fill will remain there for a very long time.
