Designed to spur thinking, this short clip explores how biophilic and biomimetic design is transforming places and spaces.

Short, sharp points of view on:

Turning traditional infrastructure into living ecosystems
Benefits of biomimicry in reshaping buildings, transport and infrastructure
Waste systems that mimic nature’s nutrient cycles
Measurable impacts: Reducing energy consumption by up to 40 percent
Recommendations for integrating biomimicry into design and technology
