BIOMIMICRY: A BOON TO ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

Biomimicry is an ideology that imitates ideas from nature. Organisms in the natural environment have evolved and well adapted by structure and materials over geological time through natural selection. Many successful innovative ideas are harvested from the phenomenological approach to nature. Biomimicry is one of the elite approaches to challenge engineering problems in a sustainable manner. Biomimicry is currently being applied to build more efficient designs and sustainable technologies that harmonize with nature.
