What is Biomimicry or Bio-inspiration?
A field called biomimicry or bio-inspiration has long emerged and is gaining traction. On the premise that nature has accomplished everything human beings want to do, but without destroying the biosphere or threatening our future, biomimicry brings biologists and designers together in answering the question "How would nature do that?" Products and processes are developed using nature as the model.
Why is This Significant & Relevant For Pratt?
Pratt Institute is the second largest independent college of art and design in the northeastern United States, offering undergraduate and graduate degree programs in architecture, art and design. Education, particularly in fields of design, can play an enormous role in opening eyes and minds to the possibility of non-harming or green living. In our professional practice and teaching, we can help students see and think about nature in ways that they did not before.
