Biologically Inspired Design: Computational Methods and Tools

From simple cases such as hook and latch attachments found in Velcro to articulated-wing flying vehicles, biology often has been used to inspire many creative design ideas. The scientific challenge now is to transform the paradigm into a repeatable and scalable methodology. Biologically Inspired Design explores computational techniques and tools that can help integrate the method into design practice.

With an inspiring foreword from Janine Benyus, Biologically Inspired Design contains a d...
