Throughout history, many leading thinkers have been inspired by the parallels between nature and human design, in mathematics, engineering and other areas.  Today, the huge increase in biological knowledge, developments in design engineering systems, together with the virtual revolution in computer power and simulation modelling, have all made possible more comprehensive studies of nature. It is these developments which have prompted the reconvening of this international conference on Design and Nature.  It is intended that the meeting will bring together researchers from around the world working on a variety of studies involving nature and their significance for modern scientific thought and design.
