Implementation
Finding inspiring biological strategies to inspire your design team can be one thing – moving from ideation to developing a product while staying true to the underlying scientific principles and biomimicry framework as well as working within project constraints can be another. My team can help you navigate this process to generate successful outcomes, including planning for short-term quick wins and longer-term product design aspirational goals, for which success may depend on advances in technology.
Place-based Innovation
To be successful, sustainable innovation in the built environment must be based on solutions that are rooted in solving the challenges presented by local environmental factors – water, sunlight, fire, wind, soils. The local ecosystem is a treasure trove of solutions for how to deal with each of these environmental factors in the place of development. To understand and learn from deep patterns and champion adapters in a place, I can develop a Genius of Place report. Once developed, the Genius of Place report provides the foundation for brainstorming and innovation for place-based solutions in workshops and/or design charrettes for any number of vertical or horizontal built environment projects.
