Unit 1: Biomaterials

Unit Concept: The natural world creates materials that are locally sourced and biodegrade at a time scale appropriate to how long they need to last. By understanding how nature does this, we can move towards creating materials that work with the natural world and don’t create waste problems.

Unit 2: Biomimicry, Evolution & Iteration

Unit Concept: Organisms in nature, and design objects both evolve over time in response to external forces in a changing environment. Biomimicry allows use adapt design strategies from the natural world to solve design challenges in the built environment.

Unit 3: Biosystems

Unit Concept: Organisms in nature, and design objects both evolve over time in response to external forces in a changing environment. Biomimicry allows use adapt design strategies from the natural world to solve design challenges in the built environment.
