How can we apply the biological knowledge?

The application of biological knowledge describes projects with different duration which are typically conducted from the office desk. In other words, they usually do not entail biological (or technical) experiments or other studies. They typically start with the rough idea of seeking biological inspiration to solve a technical challenge or with the motivation to apply a biological research result for a technical task. If interesting biological inspirations or technical applications are found, the project often requires a more detailed understanding. Designers then have to search for additional information. In this scenario, the team aspect plays a smaller role, and the designer may be a single engineer or biologist (Hashemi Farzaneh,2019).It means that, it’s better to have a problem-solving process during applying the biological knowledge.

Biomimicry as a concept

Biomimicry implies the creative implementation of biological concepts into products. As it was mentioned in this text, we can provide a broad overview of the field of biomimicry, and has described the conversion of physiological and organizational solutions from nature into products and services. Implementation and economic efficiency are shown through selected examples. Four examples of successful implementation of nature solutions. Nature is increasingly being viewed as a model and a benchmark. It is not surprising that during millions of years of evolution the nature has created mechanisms and systems that are highly efficient, eschew networks allow professionals from different areas to work together, which is a 

prerequisite for biomimicry to be successful. Nature entails ‘optimizing’ rather than ‘maximizing’ and also it is a model of sustainability since it is a ‘closed loop’ system. All organisms contribute to recycling Earth’s major nutrients – carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. If people are to prosper indefinitely, they need to act responsibly by imitating nature’s closed loop. Biomimicry (gr. bios - life; mimesis - to imitate) is a discipline of applying nature’s principles and it does not only change the ways we think about designing, producing, transporting, and distributing goods and services, but also provides opportunities to deal with complex environmental and economic problems.
