#120: Biomimicry in Architecture and Urbanism, with Michael Pawlyn
Biomimicry has the potential to transform the way we design buildings, public spaces and local economies to reduce environmental harm and improve our health.
Architect and author Michael Pawlyn joins me to discuss the newly released third edition of his book 'Biomimicry in Architecture'. We discuss what biomimicry actually means and lots of examples of how it can be applied in the built environment.
