Biomimicry is the conscious emulation of nature’s genius from a functional perspective and biophilia is the hypothesis that humans are innately drawn to nature. In a time when humans are more detached from nature than ever before, how can these two bio-based design lenses help humanity reconnect with the natural world? This presentation will review both concepts along with examples, and then include an interactive discussion about how humans became disconnected and how (or if?) we should restore that relationship.
