The Biomimicry and Indigenous Knowledge Research Group is a research group that focuses on the intersection of sustainable design practices, indigenous knowledge, and biomimicry. Biomimicry is the concept of drawing inspiration from nature's designs, processes, and systems to solve human problems and create sustainable solutions. Indigenous knowledge refers to the knowledge, practices, and beliefs that are developed by indigenous communities over generations.
This research group aims to explore how the intersection of these two fields can help create innovative and sustainable solutions for various challenges faced by society. They examine the indigenous knowledge systems and traditional practices of different cultures, identify their alignment with biomimicry principles, and explore how they can be integrated into modern design practices. The group conducts research, organizes workshops and seminars, collaborates with indigenous communities, and disseminates knowledge to promote the understanding and application of biomimicry and indigenous knowledge in sustainable design and development.
