Taking Cues From The Sea
When man copies nature, it tends to be a smart move. Using nature’s design and strategy to solve human problems can allow us to bypass a lot of experimentation. One of the earliest instances of biomimicry may be Leonardo da Vinci’s sketches for a “flying machine” that mimics the wings of a bat. And architects have used the design of an egg – nature’s strongest,...
