Biomimetic - My eldest daughter just started High School (Scotland) and one of her first assignments in art class was to design a building that fit into the Biomimetic Architecture category. When exploring the topic it was really quite interesting to see just how much of the human-made world mimics bio structures and models. Seemingly to improve sustainability and to be clear, to benefit from the perfected patterns that nature gives us.
As an example, if we look at these fungi in the woods, and compare them to the Metropole Parasol in Seville, then we can see definite flavours of nature coming through in the design.
So, your mission this week should you choose to accept it, is to show me an example, no matter how loose, be it building, art piece, food, device, location, that shows a hint or definite linkage to Bio mimicry. Interpret this as literal or as relative as you see fit.
Judging will be gentle, but will be dependent on how annoying work has been on the day of reckoning. Try to have fun, have a bash, remember it can be anything from molecular or crystalline structure all the way up to the obvious examples like Segrada Familia in Barcelona.
Standard rules apply as below. Have at it.

- Do not comment, vote, react or click “like” on images prior to the winners being announced.
- The photographs must be your own work.
- You may only submit one photo per contest but you can point the members at the internet for a contextual bio image to illustrate your mimicry.
- This contest runs for one week. If in doubt, check the dates in the title.
- At the end of the week, The Judge will choose a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place photo, providing as much feedback as possible.
- If the Judge is unable to complete the selection within 48 hours of the deadline, then last week's 2nd place has to step in. 3rd place takes over should 2nd place be similarly unable to officiate.
- The 1st place Winner will start a new thread with the topic/theme of their choice, and act as the Judge for that contest. (Winner has 48 hours to create a new theme, after that it defers to 2nd place).
- Be sure to update the Contest Master List as soon as you post a new theme.
- Contest ends 09:00AM, Sept 15, 2021 GMT.
