Biomimicry: Art Imitates Nature


Currently, one major movement in the design world is Biomimicry (meaning: to imitate nature.) This imitation of nature can be applied to anything from simple graphic design, to the major challenges involved in redesigning how we live. What better way to achieve design perfection, and in essence, create a more sustainable lifestyle, than to be inspired by Nature's processes and forms.



And now there is a website that can help to answer some of those basic questions. Asknature.org has a topic specific search engine that can provide nature's answers to many of your design quandaries.
