Architects have much more relevant goals in mind than
creating buildings that stretch into the heavens or topple over each other like
weightless blocks, many are attempting to solve today's problems -- resource
scarcity, overpopulation, decaying infrastructure, poor transportation. When nature has a problem, evolution weeds out
what doesn’t work and selects the most effective adaptations. Biomimicry has been helping
inventors, designers and architects innovate in genius ways for centuries , its
value has become even more apparent in the past few years as we realize that
Mother Nature is one of the universe's most incredible designers. architects facing a design dilemma could address problems by using biomimicry —
examining nature’s solutions and applying them to human designs, devising
the schools, assisted living centers, museums and residences of tomorrow. The
results can be physically fantastical, but most often, it's the problem-solving
behind a design that blows our minds.
