Biomimetics is understood as an approach to innovation that seeks sustainable solutions to human challenges by imitating the strategies and standards tested over time by nature.
Biomimetics is a broad and interdisciplinary field that brings together artists, designers, architects, engineers and scientists interested in knowing in depth the forms and functions created by nature, in order to imitate or be inspired by them for the development of new methods, technologies and products or produce a more efficient and sustainable version of pre-existing elements. “Imagine 3.8 billion years of brilliance in design available, free to any sustainable innovator in the world,” points out Janine Benyus, the founder of the Biomimicry Institute.
Thus, the research group is dedicated and open to bold, transformative and ethical ideas and solutions provided or inspired by biological systems or even problems whose possible response requires the investigation of the natural world.
