Theme/Description:
Biomimicry is the practice of developing sustainable technologies inspired by ideas from Nature. While humans have a long way to go towards living sustainably on this planet, millions of species -- each with nearly 4 billion years of field testing -- contain technological ideas to help us succeed in our all-important quest to become a sustainable species on a biodiverse planet.
This specialized course is designed for professionals and students in various design fields including architecture, engineering, landscape, interior design, and industrial design interested in applying biomimicry to their work. Learn to approach the world of solutions inspired by nature to help your company create sustainable, innovative, and life-friendly products and processes.
