Join Cynthia Fishman for a virtual lunch & learn presentation to the NY office of SnØhetta where she will discuss how biomimicry can be applied to the built environment.
Join Biomimicry Design Alliance’s Cynthia Fishman for a keynote presentation.
Architecture is in a constant state of flux – ever changing, ever expanding. We are always looking to extend the limits of what is possible. Our future holds many challenges for us. From exploring the depths of space, to climate change, to extreme poverty, to mass shootings, many in our profession are rising up to seek out solutions. This conference will be an insight into how these challenges are being met. They say “hindsight is 20/20”, but with a little “insight” the future is looking bright!
The Denver Zoo has joined an extraordinary national partnership to offer a unique academic opportunity for working professionals to earn a Master's degree from Miami University while studying in the zoo's conservation setting. AIP is based on the principle that education should extend beyond the classroom, and that students should make a difference--not just after graduation, but now, as a basic function of education itself. AIP Master's students practice the skills of investigation, critical reflection, leadership, and collaboration required to effectively address vital issues.
Join Cynthia Fishman for an in-class presentation about biomimicry and the ethos essential element.
Biomimicry is a way of seeking sustainable solutions by borrowing life’s blueprints, chemical recipes, and ecosystem strategies. Join Cynthia Fishman, director and founder of the Biomimicry Design Alliance, to explore the concept of biomimicry as a way to be innovative regarding sustainability and resiliency. By learning from nature, designers, architects, engineers, and innovators can tap into 3.8 billion years of research and development! [1 AIA LU]
Learning Objectives:
Determine biomimicry from other disciplines with bio- in the title such as biomorphism, biophilia, bioassisted, and bioutilized
Identify the design constraints of nature and explain the components of biomimicry
Analyze the Biomimicry Thinking Methodology that complements a more traditional design approach
Review case studies that take the concept of biomimicry from theoretical to practical
The Environmental Design Research Association (EDRA) invites practitioners, researchers, and educators to join the 51st annual conference to collectively rethink how socially embedded, inclusive, and collaborative environmental design may serve as a foundation for transforming society and addressing the major challenges the world is facing.
Join Biomimicry Design Alliance on Sunday April 5, 2020 for their poster presentation titled: Biomimetic Land Ocean Treatment System (B.L.O.T.S.): Using Biomimicry to Respond to the Effects of Sea-Level Rise in Coastal Cities
