The Senior Design Exhibit is the culmination of a year-long research and design application process. Students are given the option to select a track of study. Those who join InnovationSpace partner with other disciplines to research, design and develop products that serve real societal needs. Those who pursue Visual Communication select current social issues and create dynamic visual campaigns to reach their individual goals.
 
Students pair with advocates or sponsors as they progress through the processes of independent research, campaign design, exhibit presentations, committee work and book design. While learning more about research methods and the visual display of information, students contribute to the growing body of design knowledge by producing functional, aesthetic, and compelling work.

What Would Nature Do? Biomimicry as a Path to Sustainability

Tuesday, February 10, 2009

7 pm

Arizona Room, Memorial Union, Arizona State University, Tempe

Biomimicry is a design discipline that seeks sustainable solutions by emulating nature’s time-tested ideas. The goal is to create products, processes, companies, and policies that are well adapted to life on earth over the long haul. Biomimics around the world are learning to adhere like a gecko, cool buildings like a termite, make fiber optics like a sea sponge, repel microbes (without antibiotics) like a kelp, and run a business like a redwood forest. In the process, they’re creating new ways of living.

Janine Benyus, author of the paradigm-shifting Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature, will discuss how bio-inspired innovation could solve “grand challenges” while funding the conservation of life’s genius.
