Backyard Biomimicry Tonight!

How does nature cool itself? Biomimicry is the art and science of learning from nature to inspire the design of human forms, processes, and systems. In this seminar, which is offered seasonally and is an extension of Biomimicry Chicago’s “Prairie Project”, we will learn how to draw inspiration from nature to keep cool in the summer by going outside, exploring the prairie, making observations, and brainstorming new innovations! This seminar is open to the general public. Biomimicry Chicago's Amy Coffman Phillips and Joseph Clair, both of Prairie Lab, will facilitate this seminar.
