The practice of biomimicry is centered on three elements: ETHOS, RE-CONNECT, EMULATE

ETHOS

Ethos arises from a deep sense of respect, gratitude, and responsibility that humanity feels about the living world. Designers seek solutions that are inspired by nature’s knowledge, mimicking and learning from life in place. These solutions are life positive.

EMULATE

Learning from nature, and not about it, broadens designers’ creative horizons and humanity’s ethical standing. Life has 3.8 billion years of trials and errors, offering a library of powerful tested solutions that can be emulated. These design solutions, translating biological blueprints into technical products, fit positively in the context in which they operate. 

RE-CONNECT

Reconnection with nature happens when our senses are alert, and our minds are open to observe and adsorb nature with awe, curiosity, and respect.  We immerse ourselves in an ecosystem and/or a community and develop newly found relationships. We discover interdependencies and realize how much the richness of life can teach from a functional, creative, emotional, physical, and aesthetic perspective while strengthening a powerful sense of belonging. 

Designs that work like nature fit perfectly into it, and promote a meaningful, ethical relationship of respect for all forms of life, including humans’. This ethical design methodology ensures that the creation of anything new brings positivity for all living and non- living entities existing in one place or community.
