In an age of complex environmental challenges, why not look to the ingenuity of nature for solutions? The forms, patterns, and processes found in the natural world can inspire the way we think, design, and create. Nature’s Blueprints: Biomimicry in Art and Design brings together art, design, and environmental science to explore how nature can inspire us. Our understanding of the natural world can lead to some extraordinary inventions that improve lives and reduce our impact on the environment.
