Bio-inspired design

open access: yesConference Proceedings of the Academy for Design Innovation Management, 2019
Policymakers and stakeholders are asking corporations to innovate and synchronize their practices with that of the natural environment. In this hopefully thought-provoking position paper, we use a comprehensive review of literature and industrial practice in gradually building strong arguments that bio-inspired design is a possible pathway to achieve ...
