A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The potential for biomimicry lies far beyond the direct imitation of natural forms. Guest‐editor Terri Peters describes how Janine Benyus, the biologist and innovation consultant, is using biomimicry to create performance metrics from natural technologies and processes for assessing aspects of ecological and sustainable design. The Genius of the Place study that she developed with the Biomimicry Guild, for instance, provides designers with a tool for exploring and reporting on the natural and environmental features of a specific site.
