Biomimicry: una epistemología en construcción
Abstract
Biomimicry is not considered a developed design discipline yet, even with a methodology and supporting theories well established. In most cases, biomimicry is only considered an emerging discipline. The epistemology of biomimicry is a project under development, a discipline under construction. This article proposes a brief review on conceptual and contextual aspects of biomimicry, a review on its methodological content, and an analysis of present and possible future of this emerging discipline.
