Biomimicry:
A Framework for Sustainable Design

Design Week Portland, originally scheduled for April 18-25, has been renamed Design Portland Festival, rescheduled to August 3-7, and moved to a virtual format. MASD will be there!

Disrupt your thinking.
Flex your creativity.
Get a jolt of inspiration.

Envision your role in creating a sustainable world.

We are all feeling an urgency to take action on climate change and sustainability. Designers have a unique ability to make change, but they need new sources of inspiration as well as a new problem-solving tool.

During this hands-on experience, we’ll cover basics of Sustainable Design and Biomimicry and share tools of Bio-Inspired Design. While playing with nature, you’ll sharpen your skills of observation and learn new tools for ideation.

You’ll leave with a worksheet you can use to practice bringing nature to your design table to create more innovative and sustainable solutions.

Brought to you by MASD Director Denise DeLuca and MASD alumni Stef Koehler -- experts in the emerging fields of Biomimicry and Sustainable Design. We take you beyond recycling and composting and dig into design’s role in crafting a sustainable future.

We're offering this workshop online:
TUESDAY August 4 from 6:00 to 7:30pm

Looking forward to meeting you!
