Biomimicry Week NYC – October 15-17th
Biomimicry studies nature's best ideas, and applies them to solve human problems. The central idea behind biomimicry is that nature has already solved many of the challenges we're working on today, and that ecosystems, animals and plants are the world's greatest innovators- the original engineers, architects, aviators and chemists. Two events this week will focus on the theme "Biomimicry Week: A City Inspired by Nature's Genius".
