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.
It was used to create the first flying machine, inspired by eagles and owls—this paved the way for technologies like jets and planes. It was also used in the invention of Velcro, which works in much the same way as the hooks on burrs when they stick to animal fur. By designing and producing materials, architecture, and systems that are based on biological materials and processes, we work to strike a balance with nature.
