really interested biomimicry tbh, I just love the idea that there is this 3.8 billion years worth of R&D resources for us to simply use.. All we have to do is to look for it..
Scott Turner actually instrumented termite mounds and found that they aren't actively maintaining temperature -- they get temperature regulation through the capaciousness of the ground they are based in. People need to stop saying termite mounds actively regulate temperature. Humidity, yes. Temperature, no.
biomimicry is amazing. but it's not a 'fundamental transformation of viewing nature', it's always existed, before industrialization took over! and he mentioned Jordan Peterson back in 2013 :).
A lot of this work, like in the 50s and 60s, will be designing for posh towns. Nothing wrong with that. Designers gotta eat. But it also becomes sort of a parody, and reinforces the idea that Marin County or Cambridge, Mass. are not the Real Amurrica. So this design also has to be for styrofoam cup people too.

topic is great, also the content. So true that nature has brilliant solutions.
Presentation could've been better in my opinion.
Just a note: the idea of a "house of technology" comes from Ursula Franklin's book, "The Real World of Technology". I recommend checking it out.

Graceful speaker, great topic.

First time I see Jordan Peterson mentioned before he became famous.
Nature's design is more dynamic, adaptable to live and evolve, while the current mankind's design is limited, failproof to fulfill desires.
This guy really knows what he's talking aboot

Gooseberries are a cool packaging and my favourite deliciousness inside
The word biomimicry was coined a while before 2007 there, uh, Jamie.
Ha, yes. There was a slip up there and should've been a pause, that I met Janine back in 2007, not that she coined the term in 2007.
