Conference full papers:

Forms in nature have been emerging in response to different requirements, in a complex and dynamic ecosystem. Architects and designers have usually used references from nature for their projects; in industrial design education, the use of nature’s referents allows to expand the morphological possibilities for product design and systems. In this paper, a methodological proposal for the abstraction and morphological transformation of nature’s patterns is presented, highlighting the advantages of parametric design and additive manufacturing technologies for morphological experimentation, in the context of the first application case of morphology research subject in the Industrial Design program at Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana.
