Resumen

La biomimesis (biomimicry) aún con su metodología y su campo teórico mayormente establecido, no es considerada una disciplina de diseño todavía, o en el mejor de los casos, es sólo considerada como una disciplina emergente. La epistemología de la biomimesis es un proyecto en ejecución, una disciplina en construcción. Este artículo propone una breve revisión conceptual y contextual de la biomimesis, un repaso de su contenido metodológico, y una descripción del presente y futuro de la disciplina emergente.
