Regional biomimicry practitioners will share their design case stories. We are inviting the researchers mentioned in Janine Benyus`s presentation in September and hope to have one or two of them share their stories. If you have a story to share please call Stephanie at 216-451-7755. Presentations will include: Moen Showerhead Design Melissa Knothe Tate, PhD Associate Professor CASE Western REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED: RSVP for this free event today by filling out our online form (see registration button above) or call 216-451-7755. As a side note, I hope that the difference between biomimicry which can best be described as mimicking natural methods of manufacture, imitating mechanisms found in nature and studying the organizational principles from social behaviour of organisms and biomorphism which uses natural shapes for aesthetic purposes only is eventually made clear. If only so that the term biomimicry does not get hijacked as thoroughly as other idealized terminology such as 'new urbanism', 'green (anything)', 'loft', etc. Homogenizing all ideas under non-specific terminology does nothing to advance research, study or development of a particular topic, it actually destroys the intent of specifying a specific ideal. It also makes the speaker appear rather ignorant so for everyone's sake, call things what they actually are. Labels: Cleve.
