Course Description:

This course explores the principles of biomimicry and how they can be applied to sustainable design practices. Students will learn about the role of biomimicry in regenerative architecture, urbanism, and materials science. The course will examine case studies of biomimicry applications in various fields and explore the challenges and opportunities of applying these principles to design. The course will also introduce students to ecosystem service assessment tools and how they can be used to inform sustainable design decisions.

Learning Objectives:

1. Participants will learn the principles of biomimicry and how they can be applied to design solutions for environmental challenges.
2. Participants will learn the opportunities and challenges of implementing biomimicry.
3. Participants will synthesize knowledge from different disciplines, including biomimicry implementation in biology, architecture, and civil engineering, to develop innovative design solutions inspired by nature for landscape architecture.
