From nature to biomimicry ?

 Biomimicry is in all the environnement. Biomimicry looks like nature but it's not the same thing. A lot of people didn't know that because biomimicry and nature are similar. Biomimicry is in order to create and it's a process which is really long and it act to a long time. We have biomimicry in medicine for example and now we have this in research for the environnement to be durable in the time !

Biomimicry ,the planet savior?

 Scientists and architects of the world work on one device which can be more environnementaly friendly and Biomimicry should be able to responde to our problem.In fact if we need to be more ecologic we need to look at what the nature can propose.

It is for this reason that scientists and architects have began to create new technologies inspired by nature.For example we have many houssing which use air conditionning oh the thrmites,or the shinkansen which mimic the shape of the king fisher to be more efficient(faster,less noisy).

Biomimicry is the most optmited way for our future.
