Designing for Biophilia and Biomimicry

Evolution consists of trial and error over the space of millions of years. Over time, it's safe to say nature typically lands on what works. And two ways to implement nature inspired design is through biophilia and biomimicry. In this episode, we're lucky to be speaking with Bill Browning, world renowned on the research of these concepts. He was a co-founder of Terrapin Bright Green and founding member of the US Green Building Council. In this episode we discuss the principles, economics and design tips with biophilia and biomimicry.
