Discovering Biomimicry

Nature is our best mentor and model for a more sustainable future. Biomimicry is the study of nature-inspired design, but it’s not just about looking at the shape of a flower, it is a methodology to attain sustainable designs in all sectors, engineering, business, medicine and more. This course is a seven-week long course designed to inspire you to begin to think like a biomimic, regardless of your field or career. Each class will be two hours, with a mix of lecture, discussion, nature explorations, activities research and project work. The objectives of the course are to identify the core philosophy and key elements of biomimicry; to learn from nature-inspired design; and to begin to see life for the genius design partner it is.
