“Without consciousness, “matter” dwells in an undetermined state of probability. Any universe that could have preceded consciousness only existed in a probability state.” -Robert Ianza
Biomimetic Design: and its Role in Bio-Inspired Design
UNDER DEVELOPMENT
What is Biomimicry?
J. Benyus described Biomimicry as: Innovation Inspired by Nature.
More recently, Benyus defines biomimicry as a “…science that studies nature’s models and then imitates or takes inspiration from these designs and processes to solve human problems”. These includes development of taxonomies, methodologies, educational materials, and consulting services.
Why Does it Matter?
Through natural selection, nature has been refining itself for billions of years. It has been testing processes, details, and behaviors to optimize survival and health. Therefore it contains untapped potential in terms of precedents for design. We can make use of this extensive trial and error within nature and apply it to our built spaces in order to optimize human health.
How does Biomimicry Relate do Bio-Inspired Design?
