Transdisciplinarity and Biomimicry

Capitalizing on the emergent movement towards integrating transdisciplinarity with biomimicry, this paper provides an overview of the biomimicry approach,  including discussion of its three basic dimensions: (a) nine principles of life; (b) nature as model, measure and mentor; and, (c) the Design Spiral methodology. If the intent of trans- disciplinarity is to understand the world in all its complexities, and the world includes humans, non- humans and nature, then it makes sense to gain insights from non-humans (other species) and na- ture, the intent of biomimicry
