Biomimicry Puget Sound Workshops

Here are some more current events on the study of biomimcry. 

An organization of biomimicry enthusiasts is coming together in Seattle for a project called Urban Greenprint.  Biomimicry, (also called biomimetics) is the examination of nature, its models, systems, processes, and structure to emulate or take inspiration from in order to solve human problems. 

The groups first meeting will discuss ways that design in Seattle could incorporate biomimcry to return Puget Sound to its historical biodiversity, water flows, and carbon dioxide absorption.  Their first of two workshops is Tuesday, March 26 at NBBJ.  This is a brainstorming session where participants come with ideas from nature that can inspire solutions to these three urban challenges.  Their follow-up meeting is April 9 at the SLU Discovery Center.
