How can nature inspire us in the design process? Biomimicry is the practice of drawing inspiration from nature to solve the sustainable design challenges we face. By studying nature, we can discover practical and inspired solutions to challenges from product design to community planning. Join Amy as she illustrates how biomimics around the world are learning from nature’s solutions and then explore how to apply them to our communities in an interactive BioBrainstorm session.

Amy Coffman Phillips is a co-founder of Biomimicry Chicago, a local resource for those looking to learn from nature to design sustainably and restoratively. She is also founder of The B-Collaborative, a local organization dedicated to catalyzing and facilitating naturally inspired initiatives and projects. She is a Certified Biomimicry Professional, Illinois licensed architect, MBA, and LEED AP BD+C.

Thanks to Amy Coffman Phillips for the pointer.
