EMMF-4203:Biomimetics: Sustainable Materials and Manufacturing

Description
This course introduces the concepts of biomimicry and sustainable design. Countless examples illustrate the wisdom of nature in how organisms are adapted for survival, such as in body style, physiological processes, water conservation, thermal radiation and mutualistic relationships, to assure species perpetuation. The course focus on applying the ecological principles of the previous lessons to the future design of our human-centred world, study to improve human practices and ultimately protect natural systems, helps students to grasp the value of industry and urban mimetic designs to assure protection of global resources, minimize human impact and conserve non-renewable resources.
