 COTE to Host “Biomimicry for a Sustainable Built Environment” Workshop
Event to bring designers, biologists together in Atlanta, October 30-31
Biomimicry is a new discipline that studies nature’s best ideas and imitates them to solve human problems. Dayna Baumeister, PhD, cofounder of the Biomimicry Guild, and a team of biologists introduce this concept at an evening lecture on October 29. On the following two days, she and her team lead a two-part design workshop examining how “our designs should create conditions conducive to life.” On October 30 and 31, a group of biologists and designers will lead a workshop on applying the theories of biomimicry to architecture and design. Participants will experience a visual journey of the world of biomimicry with real-world case studies exemplifying the practice of learning from nature in the realm of architecture. For details, visit the COTE Web site.
