Learn about the emerging discipline of biomimicry and the viable sustainable solutions that arise when inquisitive humans ask nature for solutions to our design challenges. This evening lecture by Rose Tocke and the Biomimicry Guild includes unique images of nature coupled with the technologies inspired by them to tell the story of a world in which humans fit in with the environment, meeting our needs while simultaneously creating conditions conducive for all life. Building on case studies relevant to architectural interests, the Guild’s biologists will introduce the time-tested adaptations of the genius around us. Through the conscious emulation of Nature's Genius, designers of our systems can imagine innovative sustainable solutions that will transform our world by mimicking nature's forms, processes and ecosystems.
