Theo Jansen's Biomimicry



Biomimicry does not have to mimic form. Giving a structure human qualities such as a "nose" or a "foot" keeps in tact human symbolism in architecture and protects identity in human form.
Perhaps this is a good example of mimicing processes without rejecting the foundation of architecture through the ages. Biomimetic form in design would display that our structural values at a specific moment in time lie within the characteristics of naturalism instead of humanism.
