Abstract

Using design principles of nature is much faster and easier than researching mentor organisms, though it does not provide the deeper connection to nature.
To ideate from principles, find a list of biological design principles, such as Biomimicry 3.8’s “Life’s Principles.” Steven Vogel’s list in Cats’ Paws and Catapults, or this chapter. Select one or more relevant principle. Brainstorm buildable ideas from that principle. Repeat as necessary.
Principles can also be used to assess how biomimetic a design idea is, though this is highly subjective.
