Janine Benyus heeft een boodschap voor uitvinders: Kijk eerst naar de natuur bij het oplossen van een designprobleem. Want daar kun je de inspiratie vinden voor ontwerpen die waterbestendig zijn, aërodynamisch, aangedreven op zonne-energie etc. Hier onthult ze de spectaculaire prestaties van tientallen nieuwe producten die ingegeven zijn door de natuur.

A self-proclaimed nature nerd, Janine Benyus' concept of biomimicry has galvanized scientists, architects, designers and engineers into exploring new ways in which nature's successes can inspire humanity. Full bio »
