How Does Nature Modify Light and Color? With Raphael Kay
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Our buildings use A LOT of energy to heat and cool, and because of this they contribute drastically to global carbon emissions. But what if we borrowed design inspiration from the amazing ability of squids to shift colors and control light in order to reduce or eliminate excess energy needs? In this episode with Raphael Kay, explore how these underwater creatures are so efficient and what strategies we can translate to our built environment. We also discuss why practicing meaningful biomimicry is needed now more than ever, and how cross-disciplinary research is a pathway to a life-friendly future. This full hour episode is well worth your time!
