FIELD NOTES

OBSERVATIONS FROM THE EDGE OF THE MAP.

Welcome to the BIO.PRINTS field notes.

This is where we look beyond the finished product and into the things that inspire it.

Nature.

Design.

Ecology.

Pattern.

Materials.

Plants.

Fungi.

Architecture.

Human behavior.

The strange relationship between civilization and the living systems underneath it.

Some entries will explore the science behind natural patterns.

Some will examine the places and organisms that inspire our designs.

Some will explore the ideas behind individual collections.

Others will simply document something worth noticing.

Because inspiration isn't always found in a studio.

Sometimes it's under a fallen log.

Sometimes it's growing through a crack in the pavement.

Sometimes it's hiding in plain sight.

WHAT WE'RE WATCHING

NATURE & ECOLOGY

The organisms, ecosystems, relationships, and processes that shape the living world.

PATTERN & FORM

The geometry of leaves, flowers, fungi, shells, branching systems, fractals, symmetry, asymmetry, and everything in between.

DESIGN

How observations from nature can influence the things humans create.

BIOPHILIA

The relationship between humans and the living world... and what happens when we design environments that acknowledge that relationship.

THE PRINTS

Stories, research, sketches, inspiration, and ideas behind BIO.PRINTS collections.

FIELD OBSERVATIONS

The occasional rabbit hole.

Because apparently one can become deeply interested in the structure of moss and then lose an entire afternoon to it.

We're not apologizing.

KEEP LOOKING.

The natural world is full of patterns.

You just have to slow down long enough to see them.
