Unlocking Natures Secrets: Bio-inspired Biomimicry
Whatever problem we face, nature’s billions of prototypes have probably solved it. However, the sheer size of this hotbed of pre-existing innovation can make this feel like looking for a very small needle in a huge haystack.
By tapping into how we naturally solve problems, Pete Foley can help us cut through givens and mental silos, enabling us to more easily see connections between our problems and nature’s solutions. It also can enable surprisingly obvious insights, tapping into nature’s designs to find natural affordances and systems, processes and environments that appeal on a deeply emotional level.
