BIOMIMICRY



Biomimicry ile ilgili görsel sonucu
My former students often drop by to see me at my office and last week, Halil İbrahim popped in to tell me all about a topic he was researching for one of his courses in the Engineering Faculty: biomimicry. I was fascinated and set about researching the topic myself. The more I learnt, the more interested I became. Below you will find a list of the sites I visited. Do your research and write an essay explaining what exactly biomimicry is and what its advantages are.
