Posted By: Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum On: 2/17/2011 12:55:53 PM Metropolis Magazine put out a great Q&A; article on how nature can inform design. You can read a bit of the introduction paragraph below. Click here for the entire article. “We are nature.” So goes the new mantra in some design circles. And the word “biomimcry” comes up with increasing frequency. When we heard that Jane Fulton Suri, a partner and creative director at IDEO and author Thoughtless Acts? Observations on Intuitive Design, is working to reconcile nature with design, we couldn’t resist asking her a few questions.
