Who we are
This initiative envisions a new collaboration at UC Berkeley among the Colleges of Environmental Design, Letters and Sciences and Engineering beginning with the Departments of Architecture, Integrative Biology, and Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences. Its aim is to support the Berkeley Certificate in Design Innovation and to foster the Design at Berkeley initiative. The overarching goal is to strengthen the university’s expertise in different scientific areas by establishing a truly interdisciplinary and mutual knowledge exchange between students and faculty.
With this initiative, the organizers also directly respond to the university’s growing interest in biologically inspired structures and systems, which has found first manifestation in courses like (IB32 – Bioinspired Design) and (Studio One – Bio-inspired Design and Fabrication). In these classes, biologists, engineers, and architects investigate natural role models and transfer underlying design principles into new applications, products, and technologies. These courses and research initiatives try to overcome individual disciplinary efforts and aim to establish a dialogue that could enrich UCB’s scientific community and creative culture.
