Imperative Overview

IMPERATIVE INTENT:

The intent of this Imperative is to encourage meaningful integration of biophilia and biomimicry into the design of products, and consider the impact of those products on the way that users interact with the built environment and the natural world.

REQUIREMENTS:

Living Products contain design features intended solely for human delight and the celebration of culture and spirit appropriate to their function. Manufacturers must demonstrate how:

• The product’s primary use will not further disconnect people from nature.
• The product has the potential to transform people’s relationship to the natural world or to others in their community through the manufacturing process, design or use of the product.
• The product was informed by the natural world and if nature was used as a model, mentor or measure, or if biomimicry provided inspiration.
