Mother Nature inspires by design.

Mother Nature has forever been a designer. Just look around. A cursory view of our flora and fauna provides us with countless solutions for most any challenge. Can we, as humans, learn to be better designers by mimicking Mother Nature? Yes, by applying the principles of biomimicry. This presentation will show how Mother Nature can inspire us when we design.

Presented by Jacques Giard, Master Steward, McDowell Sonoran Conservancy and Professor of Design at Arizona State University
