Art (design) imitates life OR Biomimicry


Have you seen the new TV series called Touch?  It's a great show about the interconnectedness of the universe.  I highly recommend it.

However, this post isn't about the series, just the opening credits.  I can't figure out how to embed them, but you can watch them on vimeo here.

The credits showcase some pretty stunning examples of awesome design in nature, and a few of how we as humans have manipulated our environment through art and architecture to imitate this design.  It's called "biomimicry," and I'm fascinated!
