Biomimicry is the science of taking inspiration from nature, its models, systems, processes and elements to solve design problems sustainably. Nature provides us with unending inspiration including photosynthesis, natural selection, self-sustaining ecosystems, and evolution. Biomimicry is the art of consciously recapitulating the genius of 3.8 billion years of trial and error to improve everything we design. Architect William McDonough was commissioned by Fortune Magazine to create a design-of-the-future green high rise. McDonough’s design is a biomimetic masterpiece that functions much as a tree, natures high rise, does. The building makes oxygen, distills water, produces energy and changes with the seasons.
