Math and Science Shirts

Happy π Day!

I hope Professor Hawking knows about this, and thinks it's awesome.

“I don’t imitate nature. I try and understand her operating principles.”

As John Todd quotes Bucky Fuller in this interview. This is a vision of ecology, industry, and design that uses natural processes as inspiration. It will take me a while to absorb so much exciting thought. There is an example of this sort of design at the NC Estuarium, which is next to a wetlands that was built to clean the runoff from the town of Washington before releasing it into the Pamlico Sound. It is home to muskrats, dragonflies, turtles, birds, fish, lily pads, and algae.
