This paper aims to demonstrate how Biomimicry collaborates in the creation of new eco-efficient and innovative materials through the analysis of some examples, such as the hydrophobic and self-cleaning materials based on the Lotus plant, giving rise to paints and coatings that do not They do not wet or get dirty; Hydrodynamic materials based on the skin of the shark that gave rise to tissues that diminish the friction and increase the performance of swimming athletes; Adhesive materials based on the gecko gowns, which allow super adhering surfaces of carpet fastening without the need for glues; Water abstraction materials based Namibian beetle, that enable products such as Warka Water to store water from atmospheric air in regions of scarcity; And finally, self-cleaning and de-polluting materials based on the photosynthesis of the leaves, which allow the coating of constructive modules on facades capable of helping to decontaminate high-flow pathways of cars. This approach highlights the use of nature as a source of inspiration for the creation of these new materials and demonstrates the great potential for their application in Design and Architecture projects, evidenced in these examples that are in great harmony with the sustainability scenario.Biomimetics eco materials, an efficient way to sustainability Mix Sustentável | Florianópolis | v.3 | n.4 | p.29-45 | nov. | 2017
Throughout the complex history of humanity, it is possible to verify the application of biological solutions at different times and in different areas

RESUMOEm um contexto de alta competitividade e escassez de recursos, a busca da criação de modelos de negócio sustentáveis é fundamental para que organizações se destaquem e tenham longevidade no mercado. Tal ideal deve estar presente em tudo que a envolve, incluindo seus processos e produtos. O presente artigo visa reletir sobre o poder da adoção da abordagem de Design Estratégico na criação e aplicação de modelos de negócio baseados em produtos locais -importantes motores para o desenvolvimento econômico de suas regiões. Para tanto realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográica e foi analisado um estudo de caso. O Design Estratégico, como uma abordagem projetual que objetiva conceber Sistemas Produto-Serviço pautados pela sustentabilidade e ieis a uma estratégia organizacional bem deinida, apresentou-se como um recurso de alto potencial para auxiliar na consolidação dos modelos de negócio sustentá-veis e sua aplicação em tudo aquilo que uma empresa se propõe a fazer e comunicar. ABSTRACTIn a context of high competitiveness and shortage of resources, creating sustainable business models is crucial for organizations that seek to stand out and have longevity in the market. Such an ideal must be present in everything that involves the company, including its processes and products. This article aims to relect on the power of adopting the Strategic Design approach in the creation and application of business models based on local products -which are important engines for the economic development of their regions. For this, a bibliographic review was carried out and a case study was analyzed. Strategic Design, as a project approach that aims to design Product-Service Systems based on sustainability and aligned to a well-deined organizational strategy, has presented itself as a resource with high potential to assist in the consolidation of sustainable business models and their application in everything that an organization aims to do and communicate.
Recently, many companies and academic laboratories have emerged formulating new materials of biological origin for use in artifacts, in response to a scenario of unsustainability. This work aimed to investigate institutions that developed biomaterials, focusing on those that had real applications. In this sense, through social networks, several representative examples of the theme were found and analyzed from a qualitative perspective. In addition to an analysis of data collected through images and texts published on these platforms, it was also possible to map other data such as geographic origin, reach and engagement of the analyzed institutions. The results indicate that Instagram’s artificial intelligence was valid to suggest different profiles that had to do with the research, such virtual platforms facilitate the perception and faster visualization of these biomaterials, however for a deeper analysis it was not so efficient, although they serve to disseminate and stimulate new initiatives in this context.
