Pistol Shrimp Weblog

"Upon journeying to Jackson Hole, WY, and back from a recent Education Summit hosted by the Biomimicry Institute, a university professor and student united to create an open-source blog full of biomimicry/biomimetic ideas for art, design, science and engineering. The focus is form, function, style, subtlety, flow, intelligence and systems. The objective of this project is to inspire and inform others about things that have been done with, and can be done with, biomimicry.

Fall 2008 Studio - Biomimicry

A visually stunning architectural building/community design that incorporates biomimicry research on kelp forests and detailed site assessment.  Some of the earlier material as well as the final report appear similar to Ralph Knowles' 'solar envelope' work described in the May 2009 issue of the BioInspired! Newsletter.
