Biomimicry – Nature as a source of inspiration

Nature has always been a source of inspiration for the construction of machines, building structures or other technical achievements. Humankind has always been aware of the perfection of many natural phenomena, trying to imitate and recreate it. Adaptations of nature are still frequently used for developments today.
