Biomimetic Fabrication

Mother nature has never filed a single patent. Indeed, she insists on the collaborative use of her 3.8 billion years of open-source, decentralized design solutions by members she has blessed with the aptitude to comprehend it.

Biomimetic Fabrication & Sociality

Biomimicry, or biomimetics, involves imitating the models, systems, and elements found in nature to address complex human challenges. This design and innovation approach draws inspiration from the functions of living organisms. The fundamental belief behind biomimicry is that nature's inhabitants—animals, plants, and microbes—are experts in problem-solving and have developed effective strategies for thriving on Earth. Throughout evolution, living beings have adapted to their ever-changing environments through mutation, recombination, and selection.

Prefabrication (Prefab)

A prefabricated, (or Prefab), product is one that is built indoors in a factory-like setting. The finished products are covered and transported to their new locations, where they are assembled by a builder. A prefab home is not a mobile home; it is simply a home that is built off-site, as opposed to on-site. These homes are often called factory-built, system-built or modular homes.

Automation & Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing, often referred to as 3D printing, is a process that builds three-dimensional objects layer by layer from a digital model, using techniques like material extrusion, powder bed fusion, or directed energy deposition.

Design Anthropology

Design anthropology is an applied anthropology discipline that employs ethnographic techniques to create innovative products, services, practices, and social interactions. It has a rich heritage in social sciences, stemming from the interdisciplinary field of material culture, which integrates history, sociology, psychology, archaeology, and anthropology to analyze the production and consumption of objects, along with the meanings attached to them.
