Biomimicry Process Infographic
A map for curious problem-solvers
Biomimicry is a promising approach, but it’s challenging. This document captures and shares the experience of a team of experienced practitioners as they bring nature-inspired products into the world of business - sharing lessons learned to fast-forward you through the tricky parts.
About the Project
Adaptive Ecosystems interviewed the B-Hive team and designed this document based on their guideance and feedback. It includes independent research from our own theory and practice as we apply biomimicry to our own projects.
Applications
Designed as a learning tool, B-Hive is releasing the first four pages under a Creative Commons licence. If you would like to see the full version including the process flowchart, you can request a copy here:
Team Composition
Biomimicry is an interdisciplinary approach that brings together biology, technology, design, and business. We lay out their role for each member of the team, and what expertise they provide during each step of the process.
Biomimicry and Business
A big part of the work was in placing biomimicry in a business context and sharing the challenges and opportunities inherent in developing, marketing, and selling a nature-informed product.
