Biomimicry for Nature Positive Buildings and Cities
Lead Instructor: Erin Rovalo, Interim Head of Biomimicry Impact
From buildings that regulate their own temperature to cities designed like thriving ecosystems, nature offers proven strategies for creating places that reconnect people and nature. This course explores how the built environment can respond to the interconnected challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss by learning directly from nature’s genius.
 Participants will discover the hidden dependencies between our cities, the materials they are made from, and natural systems. They will discover how the family of “bio” approaches— biophilic, bio-based and biomimicry—can work together to create regenerative, resilient solutions. Through real-world examples, you’ll explore how to translate nature’s genius into scalable innovations, helping to shape a future where our buildings, cities and infrastructure become connected to nature. This course is an invitation to step outside the limits of conventional design and listen to nature’s wisdom, translating its time-tested patterns into buildings, cities, and infrastructure that regenerate life. Learn from the experts with live sessions being led by Erin Rovalo, PhD, Interim Head of Biomimicry Impact, and weekly expert speakers.Â
This course is eligible for GBCI Continuing Education hours.Â
