Nature-based Solutions through Biomimicry and Community Collaboration

Nature holds an important key to many design challenges. We collaborate with stakeholders and communities to co-create solutions using insights from strategies found in nature.

Co-creation of Collaboration: different perspectives.

Nature-Based Solutions: nature as a model.

Optimal Design Strategies: flexible approaches.

Biomimicry for minor FUTURE-PROOF CITY Students investigated how nature's strategies can inspire the design of sustainable, adaptive solutions for urban environments to create future-proof cities. - Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences Biomimicry I Interactive Digital Product I New Product Development I Educational Challenge

Biomimicry for minor Transition Design Design students were introduced to the possibilities and challenges of biomimicry, in a bottom-up way, based on exploration, discovery, and creation. - Applied University ZUYD Maastricht Biomimicry I Interactive Digital Product I Future Visions I Educational Challenge

Co-creation of Research Question Informal caregivers, human resource advisors, and researchers collaborated to co-create research questions related to “preventively supporting sustainable employability”. - University of Twente, Designlab, CitizenLab Citizen Science I Participatory Research I Informal Caregivers I Scenario Development

Transdisciplinary Education Crowdsourcing Students were given the challenge to design a digital interactive app ‘Target Tracking Snakes’ for this project using the idea of citizen science to collect data. - Applied University of Amsterdam Biomimicry I Crowdsourcing I New Product Development I Educational Challenge

Biomimicry for Human Computer Interaction In this research based workshop we explored biomimicry by drawing inspiration from nature’s systems to create more intuitive, adaptive, and sustainable technology. - Uppsala University, HTO Group Biomimicry I Nature-Inspired Interfaces I Sustainable Technology I Roundtable Dialogues

‘Colour as Information Sensing’ The design challenge was to apply biomimicry using the golden tortoise beetle colour change to find new solutions for physical interactions between humans and technology. - University of Twente, minor HTHT Biomimicry I Interactive Digital Product I New Product Development I Educational Challenge

Co-creation for Master Re-design Six co-creation workshops to co-create ‘Future Proof Smart Education’, for the program of the Master-GEO (Geo-Information and Earth Observation Sciences). - University of Twente, Department ITC Co-creation Workshops I Curriculum Development I Tailored Route Plan I Persona Development

Co-creation Workshop ‚Map4Rec‘ Workshop for 'Maping4Recreation project': Mapping informal sports and recreation opportunities with municipalities for engaging refugee youths. - University of Twente, Department ITC Co-creation workshop I Community Collaboration I Scenario Development I Citizen Science
