Keywords: Structural colour; biocentered design; anthropocentrism; biomimicry, sustainability; multidisciplinarity; academic prototyping; rich prospect browsing

Abstract

This article is based on the author’s doctoral project, and it has roots to biocentered thinking. The project is intended to generate new spaces to meet design with natural sciences, particularly on sustainable ways to produce colour. As part of it, research tools for multidiciplinary integration were created, that may contribute to the development of better research methods for biomimetic design practice. This article describes the process that this project involved, and offers reflections on present and future steps of this experience
