Borrowing design from nature - buildings as symbols for sustainable thinking.

by gustavborgefalk in Faced with increasing resource scarcity, how can young people contribute to the promotion of sustainable production and consumption?

This is the roof of the Sagrada Famiglia church, in Barcelona. When Gaudi designed the Sagrada Famiglia, he studied nature closely and mimiced structures, surfaces and materials to optimize his buildings. By borrowing design from nature, when designing new products, we can get better solutions which has a lower impact on the environment. By designing buildings after nature, we create monuments, which all young people can look up to and be inspired by. Symbols are incredibly powerful and buildings are powerful symbols, because they are seen by many people and can inspire many to design things better. Design students everywherestudy the famous monuments and are inspired by them. By creating more epic monuments, we can incite designers to mimic nature to a larger extent than before and thus, promote sustainable design of production processes among those who have the most impact on these - namely designers and engineers.
