Timeline of life on this planet proves that nature keeps evolving and growing. Life on Earth is interconnected and interdependent, and subject to the same set of operating conditions, Life has evolved a set of strategies that have sustained over billions of years. There are patterns found amongst the species surviving and thriving on Earth. Life integrates and optimizes these strategies to create conditions conducive to life. These are called LIFE’S PRINCIPLES in Biomimicry. What is Biomimicry? Biomimicry is learning from and then emulating nature’s forms, processes, and ecosystems to create more sustainable designs. There are 2 types of Biomimicry- In this project; Pigment Biosynthesis: designing with microorganisms. We follow Bioutilization - which uses nature to design. Microorganisms are used as small microscopic pigment producing factories which develop vibrant colours to dye textiles. They have successfully dyed natural as well as synthetic fabrics. The process involves understanding how these microorganisms function and watching their interaction with fabric very closely. They interact differently with different fibers which made the project even more interesting developing a wider range of shades.
