Over hundreds of millions of years, nature has evolved elegant and
creative solutions to many design problems. We’ll explore how using
biomimicry (mimicking nature) and biophilic design (increasing
our exposure to nature within our built environment) can help us to
create products, buildings, and communities whose relationships
to nature are positive and robust.
David Peterson, leader of Fire and Environmental Research Applications Team, and Brian Potter of the Amospheric Interactions Research Team, of the US Forest Service, will give Northwest Science Writers and guests updates on how they study fires and the technology they use at the Pacific Wildland Fire Sciences Lab in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood. You can send questions – in advance – to our Facebook page. Yasmeen Sands, information officer for the service, will use your questions to customize the event for this audience.
David Williams, author and geologist, will lead a walk through Seattle to look at building stones of all sorts and point out geologic history about these. Tour is sponsored by Northwest Science Writers Association. http://www.nwscience.org
