Inspired by Nature                                                    Tuesday, Sept  19, 6:00 pm

Mother Nature has forever been a designer.  Just look around. A cursory look at our flora and fauna provides us with countless solutions for most any challenge. Can we, as humans, learn to be better designers by mimicking Mother Nature?  Yes!  By applying the principles of Biomimicry, this presentation will show how Mother Nature can inspire us when we design.

Presented by: Jacques Giard, Professor of Design at ASU and Master Steward, McDowell Sonoran Conservancy
