Abstract

This paper presents an experience carried out in the field of product design aimed at knowing more in depth what biomimicry is, discovering the possibilities it offers when designing more sustainable products and introducing this inspiration in nature within the usual design thinking and process, thus putting two disciplines such as biology and design to work together.This experience has been conducted through several collaborative workshops between future product designers and biology consultants belonging to the Biomimicry Granada association. Knowledge and work with the biomimetic design spiral methodology has been promoted through a guided application by experts. The actions carried out during the three-month collaboration are described in detail, structured in consecutive stages that resemble those proposed in the methodology (observe; define; biologize and discover; abstract and emulate; and evaluate). It concludes with the results obtained in terms of learning and sustainable innovation, emphasizing that this collaboration has opened up new disciplines that offer sustainable and innovative tools to define and solve design challenges.
