Bio-Mimicry : Structure


Thomas Shahan's photos of Arthropods provide an astonishingly detailed view of the exoskeletons that support our tiny friends. Consider how exoskeletons structurally support the weight of their bodies of and how appropriating themes found in their anatomies might assist your designs.



German biologist Ernst Haeckel produced over 1000 visually stunning etchings, many of which are part of a body of work know as Kunstformen der Natur. Within this body of work, Haeckel obsessively documented thousands of plant and animal species. His documentation and survey of capturing the details of each species can provide insight into furthering our understanding of biomorphic structural concepts.
