hi sherry,
i am starting work on my masters program with a focus on biomimicry and architecture,I have taken up Biomimicry as an area of investigation for my dissertation as related to design of skin buildings.
Towards this end I have some very specific questions - means to control of temperature, humidity and daylighting using nature's technologies. The process I am following is to find examples of these phenomenon in nature and examine ways of recreating them in order to achieve a more efficient and less resource intensive means of skin building .
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Regards.

I am a student at the Architectural Association (Egypt) doing my masters in biomimetic skin building. I have taken up Biomimicry as an area of investigation for my dissertation as related to design of skin buildings.

Towards this end I have some very specific questions - means to control of temperature, humidity and daylighting using nature's technologies. The process I am following is to find examples of these phenomenon in nature and examine ways of recreating them in order to achieve a more efficient and less resource intensive means of skin building .

I was hoping that someone could point me towards any literature, case examples or precedents
Regards.

Very nice for the butterfly pupae, but what if something as large as a spider comes by?

This product has been put into "in discussion." We need a journal article that confirms the role and safety of stimulating production of H2O2 for killing bacteria and other harmful pathogens.

This set of four slides provides some insight into this strategy and application to a hammer that would be easier on users' hands: http://www.slideshare.net/Idsborg/beak-woodpecker?goback=.gde_1244207_member_198049875#btnPrevious
