Nothing is art if it does not come from nature.
Organic buildings are the strength and lightness of the spiders' spinning, buildings qualified by light, bred by native character to environment, married to the ground.
One mentions many artists who are actually art works of nature.
I think midwifery was developed by people with common sense, people who were close to nature, and people who observed other species of mammals and saw that there were lessons there to be learned.
There are three types of biomimicry - one is copying form and shape, another is copying a process, like photosynthesis in a leaf, and the third is mimicking at an ecosystem's level, like building a nature-inspired city.
Mother Nature has been the best bioengineer in history. Why not harness the evolutionary process to design proteins?
Like in nature, I like things which are based on a few simple principles, even though their manifestation can be very rich.
I like it when I'm chirpy and happy, so I decided to do my hair green. I got my sunflowers too - I was like a living, walking garden.
Straight lines don't exist in the human form and are extremely rare in nature, so the human touch in the logo is that all the lines and forms have at least a slight curve.
The art from the East is influenced by nature and touch. That comes from being more attuned to the environment.
I'm not a mother of children, but I'm a different type of mother where my approach to design is more in line with nature. It's less about dictating and more about editing and listening and allowing something to grow. So I nourish and let the material express what it wants to be.
Create form out of the nature of the task with the means of our time. This is our work.
Fundamentally, I am all about finding interesting and authentic ways to incorporate nature into most of my designs.
Break the rules - put a plant or a floral arrangement in a room that you wouldn't expect!
In nature, there is no separation between design, engineering, and fabrication; the bone does it all.
As a living, breathing person, you must love things that derive from nature.
From a sequence of these individual patterns, whole buildings with the character of nature will form themselves within your thoughts, as easily as sentences.
My advice to anyone who wants to join in on farming is diversify. Nature is diversified, and I know you'll always have a core thing that you'll really like, but hang stuff around the edges of it. It will make your place more interesting for people to come to, and it's a lot easier to sell something else to an existing customer.
I've collected John Ward pieces for years. Ward represents ideas of nature and of sediments.
In the end, it's clear that the incorporation of synthetic biology in product and architectural design will enable the transition from designs that are inspired by nature to designs made with and by nature to, possibly, designing nature herself.
Biomimicry is basically taking a design challenge and then finding an ecosystem that's already solved that challenge, and literally trying to emulate what you learn.
