The Ingenious Way That Nature Builds

Nature is the source place where Leonardo Da Vinci, Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier get ideas for their brilliant works.

Biologists meanwhile are intrigued by the genius that nature builds.

Some insights are very appealing:

Learning ABOUT nature is very different from learning FROM nature.

Learning FROM nature is to take a specific idea from a specific organism and apply to a specific human construct.

An interesting approach is to frame the investigation in the form of a question:

WHAT SHOULD WE ASK OF THE WAY WE MAKE THINGS IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS?

How does nature make things?

How does nature make the most of things?

How does nature make things disappear into the system?

In this video is Michael Pawlyn sharing how the human person can learn from nature.
