Description:
Biomimetics - imitating life's natural processes - is one of the hottest areas of design research and inspiration. The natural world contains infinite examples of how to achieve complex behaviours and applications by using simple materials in a clever way, as all organisms make use of limited raw materials to survive. In the popular imagination, the best-known example is the microscopic 'hook' on burrs that led to the development of Velcro, but there are many more applications, from kingfisher beaks inspiring the shape of bullet trains to shark skin being used as a model for advanced swimsuits.




This book presents many examples, showing each natural phenomenon alongside its application, with an accessible explanation of the biology and the story of the design. While most are concrete examples that have already been developed, others point the way to what might be possible for an enterprising designer, providing a starting point for creativity. This timely overview is the perfect introduction for designers of all disciplines, and a reminder that inspiration may be just down the garden path.

Great price. Great fit. Would buy again.
Fit well enough, needed to sand a little for a better fitment. Was not difficult in any way.

Lightweight but so is the original
When the package arrived it was in a very thin lightweight box that was crushed on one side. I thought for sure it was trashed. By chance…all was good. The lights are thin plastic but made very close to the original standard. They fit well on the car but the gasket needs to be tucked in around the edges. That material seems thin. The end result is actually a nice looking inexpensive light. Overall I am happy.
