Process:
I agree with Janine Benyus in the fact that it is not so much the duplication of nature in form or appearance but in the processes of nature.
Perfecting:
The world around us has an unimaginable wealth of information at our fingertips and in the very environment that surrounds us. This information has been perfected by the organisms in the world around us and is available for interpretation and replication.
Questions 16
Is there any way you can use Bio-mimicry in your term project?
Nature has done so well living and developing within its limits. Is these reason humans have failed to live as seamless with nature as other organisms because we constantly have to break or expand the limits?
Keywords 17
Patterns, Math
Nature is deeply inlaid with patterns it is in our leaves, shells, sand dunes, and even cell structures. All of these patterns can be observed and explain mathematically. And through math we can understand why and how these patterns are formed. One example that is given is the patterns of flower petals. The pattern difficult to find but it turns out that the common numbers of petals for flowers have a certain pattern that relates all of them.
Questions
How can we relate these patterns to our term projects and architecture in general?
Even though chaos is unpredictable and can not be understood, can we still use it in design?
Keywords 18
Purity:
Mathematics is a pure language, all of its expressions are precise, also it has unlimited possibilities. It is made pure by the fact that it can be used to duplicate exactly expressions or situations perfectly many times over.
Skepticism: Another reason behind the purity of mathematics is the skepticism it promotes. This skepticism comes from always questioning facts, In mathematics a fact can be proved completely untrue by the occurrence of one falsity. This means that the only truths are the ones that are constantly tested but hold up.
Questions
Is the connection that runs throughout all of these readings (bio-mimicry-pattern-mathematics) do enough to relate this reading to design?
Mathematical creativity does not seem to be a correct term. Can there be creativity in a concrete subject like mathematics? How does it relate to creativity in more obvious subjects like art and design?
