Innovation From Nature - Biomimicry: The Course
Biomimicry: The Course

There is much to learn from nature and despite our best efforts (planning, spending, designing) humans are always outdone by creation. But now we can learn from the best - enter Biomimicry: The Course. This program is designed for biologists interested in studying biomimicry and copycatting design from nature. The course entails 6 intensive days of instruction - from May 23 to 29, 2007.

Biomimicry, the science (art?) that entails observing how nature's design solutions are often better than ours, and trying to learn from that. Why can birds fly so easily, while we have to dump millions into developing fiendishly complicated helicopters? Why do spiderwebs trump any cable suspension system we've ever devised? How is it that geckos get up walls so easily, and we have to rig window washers up with these enormous contraptions? (core77)
