Learning at the Feet of Nature. Issues with Genetic Control of Insects. Recently I presented on Biocontrol of weeds. On the other side of things, biocoporations, such as Monsanto, work to create genetically modified plants that can produce toxins, protecting them from many pests. In the same way that biocontrol can lead to rapid evolution, this same thing can occur with GMC. Bull;November 6, 20.
Get me outta here! Creation is all around us. For our design, we chose to stick to local water management issues, and developed a design that would focus on run off water in Philadelphia.
So today I was able to learn something completely new about architecture thanks to a classmate. This is an area that I have no experience, and thus was difficult for me to grasp the idea. This definitely helped me understand how collaborating with a person in a different field could be difficult. I think we figured some things out and appreciate each others science. This is located in China and both of these things are found throughout the area.
As I was checking my email i found this very amazing picture of ants , and since my biomimetics class got me to think about applications of biological phenomenons in other fields and ways to learn from it; I wondered how do these tiny little insects perform this task and in what might it be used.
An organism imagining looking and acting like other organisms, in a totally not weird way. A coal miner and his canary. A standard urinal bought at a hardware store and lain down on a pedestal. It as art, effectively that we now. It as art, was what made it art, he argued. And extending well into the late-20th century.
