Nature-inspired models used 3d printed waste from Sharjah Sustainable City

Living Designs showcased the field of biomimicry design, drawing inspiration from nature to address various design challenges. This approach recognized the ingenuity of the natural world and aimed to learn from its processes and systems to create sustainable and efficient designs.

The exhibition featured the work of interior design students who applied biomimicry principles to develop conceptual models representing interior design elements. Inspired by nature's patterns, shapes, colors, and textures, students created functional and visually appealing environments.

Utilizing advanced technologies such as AI and 3D printing, students brought their nature-inspired concepts to life in innovative ways. They used filament made from recycled plastic and wood fibers to produce sustainable designs that minimized environmental impact.

In collaboration with Sharjah Sustainable City, which provided wooden frames sourced from SSC waste, the designs were fabricated at the College of Fine Arts and Design workshop. The exhibit aimed to encourage the community to rethink design and explore how nature can inform creative solutions that benefit both people and the planet.
