Organic Design by Domus
"There's nothing new in saying that there are no better examples of
design than a fern, a jellyfish or, to use an example treasured by
modernist architects and designers, an egg. Economy and sensibility
characterise nature's way of designing, and this rigorous tactic is
translated into examples of disparate elegance. Nature demonstrates that
beauty comes from the structure and inner purpose, and it has
captivated and inspired architects, engineers, craftsmen and designers
since the beginning of their existence. The study and application of the
norms and forms of nature has been bundled under the label of "organic
design", a broad term that embraces such diverse examples as Art
Nouveau, some examples of robotics, the architectural manifestation of
the ideal domestic lifestyle after World War II, and biomimetic objects
produced according to sustainability principles."
This is a very interesting article about biomimicry and organic design nowadays. And how this method has been aplied to many sectors: design, fashion, architecture, technology...
