Abstract
Everything we design is informed by our thoughts, assumptions, or beliefs. And each of these, is influenced by our context. Most of our species live in a built environment, or an context that is “unnatural”, which perpetuates unnatural ways of thinking, behaving, and creating. It also perpetuates a glaring contrast between our built and natural environments, which is energy intensive to maintain and potentially destructive. Through biomimicry, Jamie explores the ways that nature’s great ideas - think walls that self-heal like skin, or circular economies that emulate a forest - can shift our assumptions and therefore shift our contexts from one built on outdated ideas, towards a system that is more in harmony with “nature”.
