Bio-Inspired Design: What Can We Learn from Nature?
نویسنده
چکیده
Bio-inspired design, as it will be developed in this essay, draws heavily on E.O. Wilson’s concept of biophilia and related work in environmental aesthetics. There are other valuable approaches to bio-inspired design, particularly those stemming from a consideration of the functions and processes of nature as so eloquently described by Janine Benyus in Biomimicry. My focus here, in contrast, is on the forms and sensory attributes of nature that hold special psychological significance.
