Design For Nature: Symbiotic Design - ROTADYNE
– Lady Bird Johnson Biomimicry has provided us with invaluable insights which have led to some incredible design solutions. We’ve previously outlined some examples of this, such as the Lotus flower inspired self-cleaning paint, and ‘Gecko Tape’ inspired by the lizards’ unique toes.
Biomimicry and Birds - Chirp Nature Center
2022年7月31日 · Put simply, biomimicry is design based on the study of something found in nature. Our discussion focuses on birds, but biomimicry uses many other animals and natural items and processes as inspiration. For example, the study of shark skin and its low-drag force inspired the invention of modern swimsuit materials.
