Leerdoelen voor de cursus
At the end of the course, you will have a profound understanding of:
- bio-inspired system design
At the end of the course you are able to:
- understand the core concept of bio-inspired design at system level
- have a basic understanding of the bio-inspired design process
- develop a design brief
- apply specific nature-inspired design techniques to a system design assignment, and use the results to develop a system solution
- critically reflect on the method and techniques used.
Furthermore, you will practice to:
- connect disciplines and supersede these through integration

In this course, you will learn how to design a system using bio-inspired design methods & techniques.
You will receive workshops to practice the use of bio-inspired techniques and apply these to a specific design case.
The design can address different system-levels:
- A macro-system, like a new ‘foodforest’ embedded in a network, and supported by suggestions for new business models.
- A meso system, where the focus is on the production of goods and services, or
- A micro-system of, for instance, interacting bacteria that regenerate soils.
We will offer a case for each level to which you can subscribe in the first meeting.
You will work together in groups of about 4 people with different educational backgrounds.
Over the course we will pay attention to:
- Applying a Biomimicry design Cycle, from design brief to concept design.
- Nature-insipired techniques for design and evaluation of design, including design principles, roadmapping, circular BMC and surroundings scan.
- Ecological performance indicators
