“…This article focuses on designers for two main reasons: -First, according to literature, designers acquire, during their training, a set of skills of interest to improve interdisciplinary collaboration and communication. They (A) create cognitive bridges between different knowledge [16] ; (B) overcome cognitive fixations [17] ; (C) materialize and contextualize ideas and knowledges through artefacts, representations or use cases [18]- [21] ; (D) challenge other profiles' perceptions on their data by being exposed to designers' representations [18] ; (E) help other profiles to understand and generate ideas [18] ; (F) Facilitate the communication and the outreach of the project [18] ; (G) identify appropriate stakeholders for the smooth-running of the project [22]. -Second, modules dedicated to biomimicry have been integrated in design universities.…”

Biomimetics has undergone an increasing development over the last decade. Most of the conducted research relative to its operational practice has focused on the formalization of biomimetic processes and the development of tools adapted to the specificities of biomimetics. Here we adopt a complementary point of view: the analysis of the impact of the profiles composing the biomimetic design teams. This article focuses more particularly on the analysis of the impact of the involvement of designers from artistic and industrial backgrounds, on the typology of biomimetic concepts generated from biological information. This study was carried out through a student experiment that compares the biomimetic concepts generated by teams composed either of engineers or a mix of designers and engineers. We studied these concepts according to 4 criteria: the number of concepts generated, originality, feasibility and finally their contextualization. This analysis allowed us to identify new relevant skillsdesigners skills -to be integrated in the training of biomimetic practitioners and especially in that of a new profile: the biomimetic "mediator" profile.
