Biomimicry:
Nature as Nurturer of Sustainable Design and Living
Biomimicry is 'innovation inspired by nature,' according to Janine Benyus, who in 1997 wrote the book bearing the same title. "In the years since its publication, many are learning that the sustainable path for living on the planet will be found through 'models, mentors, and measures' such as nature provides," according to Architect Randall Anway . "We can look at the inspiration nature abundantly shares and develop new ways to notice and enjoy this abundance in our daily lives."
Randall is principal at New Tapestry, LLC, a new firm dedicated to sustainable design in the built environment. He is active in the growing global community of 'biomimeticists' and also carries certifications in green and sustainable design and new urbanist principles (Smart Growth). Along with his informal talk, Randall promises there will either be "an unreasonable quiz or an edifying activity depending on a whim of the moment-- and special prizes for good sports."Tavern at the Armory
