Intervention and moderation of a round table on 20 October 2015 during the World Forum Lille, on the theme " What about building with nature as an inspiration? "

The construction sector is undergoing spectacular change, particularly for ecological reasons (energy, circular economy). Other professions, also undergoing change, have called on biomimetic science, literally "inspired by nature", to identify breakthrough innovations, sometimes surprising, often inspiring, always effective. A specialised resource centre based in Senlis, the CEEBIOS, works on biomimicry and has launched a workshop on biomimetic housing. This is an opportunity to discuss it.

Organisers: Rodolphe DEBORRE, Sustainable Development Director, Rabot Dutilleul & Alain RENAUDIN, Communication, CEEBIOS, European Centre of Excellence in Biomimicry in Senlis
