Pine Cone

In biomimicry, nature serves as a role model towards organising human systems inspired by natural systems. This pine cone is a wonderful example - delicate at the tips, solid at the base, its life-cycle entirely dependent on its surroundings.

‘Humidity-sensitive’ scales open and close purposefully for the fertilization of seeds, protection, adaptation and survival. Nature’s elegant solutions resulting from 3.8 billion years of R&D offer a guide to an ecological future which is resilient, resource-abundant and conducive to life so we can develop sophisticated response-cycles within a multi-disciplinary approach performing as intelligently as this cone
