#Biomimicry is a design #innovation pathway leveraging one of the most advanced, untapped, publicly available research and development labs on the planet — nature 🍂 In the built environment, it supports project owners, engineers, architects, designers and planners to deliver nature-positive, regenerative designs that benefit ecosystems, communities and employees. Developed in collaboration with leading nature-inspired design and innovation company, Biomimicry 3.8, our latest paper explores the power of biomimicry to transform the built environment into a catalyst for ecological regeneration.

A must read! Congratulations Jacobs on the outstanding paper. Truly inspiring! The report brilliantly highlights the urgent need for action on climate change and biodiversity loss. Notable mentions include the practical examples of biomimicry, such as the use of bioswales and bioretention ponds for stormwater management, which emulate natural wetlands. 👍 Additionally, the concept of designing buildings to function like local ecosystems, providing essential services such as air purification and water filtration, is particularly inspiring. Well done on pushing the boundaries of sustainable design! I'll be "borrowing" some of these brilliant notions for my future discussions on stormwater management.

This is an exciting, well-written, and beautiful report on how the natural world can inspire a regenerative world at the macro-scale. Care to dig deeper... way deeper? Join me for a week-long immersion into how nature's 3.8 billion years of R&D can inspire a regenerative world at the molecular scale. https://biomimicry.net/what-we-do/professional-training/immersion-workshops-2/canada-2024/
Natural systems have evolved to be efficient, resilient, and adaptive. The idea of using nature's 3.8 billion years of R&D is compelling.

The Biomimicry 3.8 team is excited to announce the launch of our most recent publication, developed in partnership with the renowned professional services firm Jacobs. “From Sustainability to Regeneration | The Power of Biomimicry in Transforming the Built Environment” delves into the transformative potential of biomimicry in shaping the built environment as a driving force for a regenerative world.
So excited to have worked on this project with an incredible team at Jacobs. Inviting nature to the design table is key to shifting towards a Nature Positive world. Why not tap into 3.8 billion years of R&D?
Congrats on getting this work out there for more people to explore!
Harnessing the power of biomimicry to innovate in the built environment is truly inspiring! By leveraging nature's advanced designs, we can create regenerative and nature-positive solutions that benefit ecosystems, communities, and employees alike. Excited to dive into your latest paper and explore how these nature-inspired strategies can transform our approach to design and engineering. 🌿
