Abstract: | Biomimicry is the study of nature to emulate or be inspired by its designs or principles to solve human problems. A noteworthy example includes Velcro derived from bur hooks. This paper describes a Basic Design Studio assignment that is informed by arthropods, a rich source of inspiration. First-year architecture students were expected to offer a solution to a common human problem through the observation of the forms and behavior of arthropods. The final work required the inclusion of a mobile structure in the design. Educational benefits include the introduction of students to alternative design methods and multidimensional thinking. |
