Today, in contemporary design, one can observe that non-linearity has taken hold, breaking away from Platonic and Euclidean ideals, where objects are not looked at as a whole and absolute but interconnected within a larger system. They derive their formal definitions, such as organic, amorphous, folds, and blobs, by taking analogies from nature and understanding modern sciences such as the theory of relativity, chaos, complexity, etc. On the other hand, there are contemporary designers whose core concern is to achieve systems that work efficiently and conserve resources and energy. These approaches seeking a higher ethical order and striving to work symbiotically with nature without damaging her tend to lose weight on their aesthetic dimension or artistic foci. An initial effort was carried out to collect data on the existing areas of bio-mimicry and how they have influenced man’s life in innumerable ways through different case studies. The five main areas of simulation, interpretation, integration, replication, and emulation were delved into with practical applications in the field of design. A brief overview of some of the research studies carried out at MIT also shed light on the applications of bionics, right from developing intelligent robots to creating artificial limbs for the physically challenged.
