(Btw, where do Life’s Principles come from?)
Scientists have been studying life’s mysteries for centuries and have found that certain patterns in nature can be observed in many species.
Biomimicry 3.8 and other collaborators compiled scientific research to create the collection that we call Life’s Principles (LPs) today. These are nature’s strategies for sustainability and success.
Biomimicry’s most crucial message for us designers is these LPs
LPs are tools for strategic design; we can use them to both drive the design process and evaluate the sustainability of our designs. These principles help us understand “what works, what is appropriate, and what lasts here on Earth.” (Janine Benyus)
Evolve to survive
Adapt to changing conditions
Be locally attuned and responsive
Integrate development with growth
Be resourceful with material and energy
Use life-friendly chemistry
