NATURE INSPIRED DESIGN - CHICKEN OR EGG?

Tuesday 18th February

7.30 for 8pm

Dr. Kim Stansfield

It has become recognised by many people around the world that nature demonstrates beautifully effective design solutions to complex problems and challenges. For many years people have studied nature to inspire sustainable design, and the field of biomimicry has emerged.

In this talk Kim will consider examples of biomimicry based design and consider the way that the connected developments within an organism's lifecycle and between different species sets extreme challenges to the concept of independent, unguided emergence of life.

During his PhD in composite materials, Kim came to faith, and subsequently spent 26 years working in engineering and systems. The last four years of his working life were spent as an associate professor of Systems Engineering.
