Nature’s Blueprints:
Biomimicry in Art and Design

Presented by Sherrill Bambauer and Dr. Eric & Tiffany Blasingame

January 28, 2021 – May 25, 2022

Art, design, and environmental science come together in this exhibition through scientific and artistic objects and interactive learning stations. Explore the forms, patterns, and processes found in the natural world that have inspired the design of everything from raincoats to skyscrapers. This approach to innovation, called biomimicry, applies naturally occurring phenomena and structures such as bird wings, beehives, and porcupine quills to design improvements that enable faster travel, safer buildings, and more precise medical equipment.
