Biologically Inspired Design: A Tool for Interdisciplinary Education
نویسندگان
چکیده
over the human problem, don’t just repeat it. Make certain the source is actually solving the problem you want addressed; look at MANY sources. Focus on the behaviors and functions of the structure; pay attention to constraints. Try to eliminate specific structural reference altogether. Does this remove constraints? Don’t forget your original constraints. Reframe problem Biological solution search Solution understanding Principle abstraction

Problem-Driven and Solution-Based Design: Twin Processes of Biologically Inspired Design
Biologically inspired design uses biological systems as analogues to develop solutions for design problems. We conducted a cognitive study of biologically inspired design in the context of an interdisciplinary introductory course on biologically inspired design in Fall of 2006. The goal of this study was to understand the processes of biologically inspired design. This paper provides a descript...

متن کاملBiologically-Inspired Innovation in Engineering Design: A Cognitive Study
Biologically-inspired design uses analogous biological phenomena to develop solutions for engineering problems. Understanding, learning and practicing this approach to design is challenging because biologists and engineers speak different languages, have different perspectives on design, with different constraints on design problems and different resources for realizing an abstract design. In F...
متن کاملIs Biologically Inspired Invention Different?
The paradigm of biologically inspired design views nature as a vast library of robust, efficient and multifunctional designs, and espouses the use nature as a source of analogues for inspiring novel designs in domains of interest such as architecture, computing, engineering, etc. Over the last generation, biologically inspired design has emerged as a major movement in engineering, architectural...
متن کاملCognitive, collaborative, conceptual and creative - Four characteristics of the next generation of knowledge-based CAD systems: A study in biologically inspired design
We envision that the next generation of knowledge-based CAD systems will be characterized by four features: they will be based on cognitive accounts of design, and they will support collaborative design, conceptual design, and creative design. In this paper, we first analyze these four dimensions of CAD. We then report on a study in the design, development and deployment of a knowledge-based CA...
