ethinking designbiomimetic: food generation designKatherine M. WilkinsonWHAT/WHY“Innovation inspired by nature.”In biomimicry, we look at nature as a model, measure and mentor; it is a new way ofconsidering and appreciating nature. It introduces an era based not on what we can extractfrom the natural world but what we can learn from it. Biomimicry is the new science thatstudies nature, its models and systems, operations and principals. It solves the problems weas humans have sometimes, but not always, created ourselves. It takes creative inspirationfrom nature; it does this by studying the best ideas and then echoes its designs andprocesses. It is a survival strategy for humans, a path to a sustainable future. Whenbiomimicry is used we are imitating the best-adapted organisms because what surrounds usis the secret to survival. Nature has lead to the development of products such as hypodermicneedles designed on snake fangs. We have learnt to self medicate like a chimp, createprotective clothing or coverings for cars inspired by crocodile skin, looked at fish antifreeze tofind new ways of freezing human transplant organs without injury, created non-markingadhesives and closures for rock-climbing gloves inspired by Gecko toes. By necessity natureis imaginative. Animals, plants and microbes are the engineers of biomimicry. With thedemand being high today for a sustainable future, the science of biomimicry is producingmore and more opportunities for the world to create a better future using sustainable, organicproperties.WHOThe Japanese have developed a system of growing more of their prized melons withinthe small area that they have available to grow. Instead of taking up lots of precious spacegrowing all over the ground they have developed a way to train them to grow vertically.Enabling more to be grown in one area. This also means that fewer blemishes will cover thefruit, as they are not lying in one position throughout their whole stage of growth. Because ofthis they are able to sell more of the fruit and get a better return for their work.Aquaponics is the system that involves both aquacultureand hydroponics. This process involves fish, plants andbacteria. The cycle consists of fish by-products being pumpedinto growing beds that are filled with gravel. The beauty of the
