Biomimicry, the practice of learning from nature's designs and strategies, has resulted in many genius products and systems over the years.

These biomimicry examples are proof that harnessing nature's wisdom to solve human design challenges truly is the way towards a life-friendly, regenerative fut...

A pattern in nature is a form that repeats because it solves a problem. Spirals, hexagons, branches and fractals show up again and again across unrelated species because each one answers a physical question — how to grow, how to hold weight, how to move fluid, how to fill space without waste.

Bioremediation is the use of living organisms - bacteria, fungi, plants - to remove or neutralise pollutants from contaminated environments.

Human-made pollution is causing great harm to ecosystems and public health, and traditional cleanup methods are often no better.

But nature offers its own so...

Biomimicry is the practice of learning from and emulating nature's genius to solve all kinds of challenges within the human design world. Below, we dive into what this movement is all about. 

They’re springing up like wildflowers - the practices of how we can (and should) learn from the principles o...

Nature-inspired buildings, designs and innovation begin with thinking outside (the box)! In a world of homogenous buildings, we've listed 10 remarkable structures that showcase examples of biomimicry in architecture, and how architects are mimicking nature to lead the movement of sustainable, regene...

To BSc or not to BSc ... that is the question.

If you are considering completing a Biomimicry Masters Programme (or doing a PhD in Biomimicry), we've got all the information you need before deciding where to apply.

Hello nature enthusiasts and curious minds!

Jess (the cofounder of Learn Biomimicry) and I (Alistair) recently had the pleasure of hosting a deep dive into the brilliant intersection of biomimicry and artificial intelligence (AI).

In her live workshop called Wild I...
