The Biomimicry and Industrial Design Research Group is an interdisciplinary research group that focuses on the study and application of biomimicry principles in the field of industrial design. Biomimicry, also known as biomimetics, is the practice of emulating nature's designs, processes, and systems to create sustainable and innovative solutions for human challenges.
The research group explores how natural forms, patterns, and functions can inspire and inform the design of products, materials, and systems. They investigate biological structures, behaviors, and strategies to identify potential design opportunities and develop novel concepts for improving technologies, processes, and sustainability.
The Biomimicry and Industrial Design Research Group collaborates with experts from various disciplines, such as biology, engineering, materials science, and sustainability, to promote knowledge exchange and multidisciplinary approaches. Through their research, they aim to enhance the integration of biomimicry principles in industrial design education, practice, and industry applications. They also contribute to the development of a sustainable and ecologically responsible design framework.
