Topics covered include innovations from biomimicry in materials, product design, architecture, and biological sciences. The book is a useful resource for educators, designers, researchers, engineers, and materials scientists, taking them from the theory behind biomimicry to real world applications. Living systems have evolved innovative solutions to challenges that humans face on a daily basis. Nonlinear multifunctional systems that have a symbiotic relationship with their environment are the domain of nature. Morphological solutions for buildings inspired by nature can be used for skins, surfaces, and structures to facilitate environmental adaptation of buildings to increase occupant comfort and reduce energy demands. Birds can teach us to produce novel structures, 3D printing can be informed by oysters and mussels, and mycelium may show us the way to fabricate new biocomposites in architecture. Therefore, it is in nature that we seek inspiration for the solutions to tomorrowâs challenges. . 650 0 $a Biomimicry. 700 1 $a Eggermont, Marjan, $e editor. 700 1 $a Shyam, Vikram, $e editor. 700 1 $a Hepp, Aloysius F., $e editor. $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000033687735. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780128210543 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403011032.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=035BCBF4CD0211ECB5E908A224ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
