About This Collection

The design and production of materials, structures, and systems that are modeled on biological entities and processes.  

"Biomimicry is an approach to innovation that seeks sustainable solutions to human challenges by emulating nature’s time-tested patterns and strategies. The goal is to create products, processes, and policies—new ways of living—that are well-adapted to life on earth over the long haul. The core idea is that nature has already solved many of the problems we are grappling with. Animals, plants, and microbes are the consummate engineers. After billions of years of research and development, failures are fossils, and what surrounds us is the secret to survival." Biomimicry Institute.

AskNature Hive Live Convo - Jurassic Plants with Riley Black
September 03, 2025
Beneath the feet, above the heads, and deep in the bellies of the dinosaurs––there were plants. And those plants shaped dinosaurs, early mammals, and the prehistoric world itself in profound and astounding ways. Watch this AskNature Hive Live Convo replay with dino-loving author Riley Black and take a trip back to that world, and see familiar tropes dissolve in the mist to reveal a vibrant land defined not by a few charismatic animals, but by an overwhelming multitude of plants, animals, and the dynamic relationships between them––relationships that continue to impact the world today, and can provide biomimics with a whole new array of inspirational models to learn from.
