This workshop will be led by the Biomimicry Guild, which consists of a networked team of design-savvy biologists who teach technical audiences an evolving methodology that incorporates nature’s design strategies into the design process. This intermingling has the potential to produce innovative, life-enhancing products, architecture, and communities.

13 LUs

What is biomimicry?

Biomimicry is a new discipline that studies nature's best ideas and imitates them to solve human problems. Applications range widely, from architecture, product design, and engineering, to software development, communication systems and organizational evolution.

Join us to learn more.
