Biomimicry

WebEcoist has pulled together a fascinating gallery of imaginative designs for green dwelling and living spaces, including a design for co-op housing inspired by Anasazi cliff dwellings.

Architecture and biomimicry are joining forces. A new city being planned in a flood-prone region of India is using the concept of mimicking nature to build a city that better responds to its environmental conditions.

With communities balking at the purported ugliness of windtowers and solar panels, a Dutch company proposes using nature's own designs.

Builders, architects and designers are increasingly looking to nature for guidance as they try to build greener and more sustainably.
