Masterclass 2

Biomimicry en product design

This online master class is the second of the cycle. It will take place from 12:30 to 13:30. You can participate in the whole cycle or only in the topics that interest you.

These masterclasses goals :

  • Raise awareness of biomimicry and encourage participants to integrate these approaches into their project development.
  • Show the possibilities and limits of biomimicry.
  • To show the different scales of biomimicry by making links with the fields of CCI.
  • To enable participants to have a good knowledge base and to know which tools to use to consider it in project development.

Course and Format : 

These Masterclasses will be led by Guillian GRAVES, founder of the Big Bang Project agency, via the online tools Zoom and Miro, but also supported by a projected digital presentation.

The schedule is as follows :

- Round table of the participants (5 minutes)
- Introduction of the facilitator and description of the workshop (5 minutes)
- Definition of biomimicry, presentation of the opportunities and professions involved (10 minutes)
- Scales, methodology and tools of biomimicry (5 minutes)
- Examples of biomimetic projects (10 minutes)
- Breakdown into three working groups, around challenges and generation of bio-inspired ideas in groups (15 minutes)
- Debriefing (5 minutes)
- Sharing of resources and Question and Answer session (5 minutes)

So, what is TRAKK & DESIGN?

These are cycles of masterclasses on a theme related to design.

The aim of these actions to disseminate design culture is to reveal the potential of design and transdisciplinary innovation to stimulate the dissemination of these practices within companies and project leaders.

We want to show how these new techniques and methodologies can increase the scope of possibilities, foster innovation and contribute to the development of new products or services.

Online events between companies, project leaders, researchers, designers, scientists, craftsmen, artists and design experts to present new techniques, whether in terms of new materials with innovative characteristics or eco-design approaches.

These series of masterclasses focus on the potential of innovative materials in the context of sustainable development (biomaterials, recycling, biomimicry).

In addition to materials, these cycles allow the presentation of new technologies or techniques related to design (interaction design, generative design, human-computer interface, AI, etc.).


“ These masterclasses allow you to question, discover, learn, stimulate creativity, and inspire you to integrate new techniques, approaches, technologies or new materials into your future projects. ”
