Nature as Inspiration in Learning Processes.

Marlén López And Manuel Persa.

Portada del libro publicado por Springer.

Compartimos este capítulo que hemos escrito para el libro «Biology, Biomimetics and Natural Design. Innovative Technologies and Sustainable Materials» editado por SPRINGER con AMILTON Arruda y Felipe Luis Palombini.

Una obra monográfica de contribuciones de algunos de los principales grupos internacionales de biomimética, que muestran casos apasionantes de cómo los avances tecnológicos están conduciendo a soluciones de diseño mejoradas, además de dar forma a nuestra propia comprensión de la naturaleza y su compleja organización.

En nuestra contribución «Nature as Inspiration in Learning Processes» exploramos el potencial transformador de utilizar la naturaleza como modelo para revolucionar el futuro de los procesos de diseño y fabricación. Profundizamos en enfoques innovadores que desafían los métodos de enseñanza tradicionales, abogando por un estilo de aprendizaje más inmersivo y experiencial.

Abstract

Taking Nature as a model makes us rethink and reimagine the future of design and manufacturing processes, through alternatives to traditional teaching methods. SummerLab Biodesign is an international immersive learning program in the heart of Nature, located in the Natural Park of Redes (Asturias, Spain). Through various learning modules, we offer people different methodologies, tools, and resources to learn to observe Nature with curiosity and find alternatives in the design processes through creative experimentation. Biodesign School is a discovery and learning program for families and children in the fields of biodesign and biofabrication. Through various activities and experimental laboratories, young ones delve into the fascinating world of creativity, science, and technology, all while being in direct contact with Nature. In this paper, we explore the transformative potential of using nature as a model to revolutionize the future of design and manufacturing processes. We delve into innovative approaches that challenge traditional teaching methods, advocating for a more immersive and experiential style of learning.

After graduating from the School of Architecture of the University of A Coruña (ETSAC) in 2008 (including an Erasmus scholarship, IUAV, University of Venice, Italy in 2005-06), he studied for a Master's degree in Architecture Biodigital, ESARQ-UIC, Barcelona in 2009, developing the final thesis: "the Architecture biodigital pop-up". In 2017, he presented his doctoral thesis “Immersive architectural alive that interact with their environment. Naturalizando the design” in the Department of Construction Engineering and Manufacturing, University of Oviedo and the Cum Laude and with International doctorate by the University College London (UCL), London. Over twelve years of experience as an architect and researcher (in the private and public sphere), has developed several architectural projects and research projects, and has gathered more than 300 hours of teaching, publications, presentations and lectures in international conferences. In addition, it has formed part of various exhibitions and she has received awards.
