As humans continue to augment their experience with technology, it becomes difficult to separate the influence of one from another. Nature is often not considered in the conversation between human and machine.

The Beyond Biomimicry collection attempts to make the next generation of machines by utilizing interspecies collaboration in the design process—both computationally and physically. This collection is a deep dive into understanding the natural growth process and structures of living organisms, simulating those structures in computational space to give humans, machines, and nature an equal voice and stake in the design process.
