The beauty of natural forms and their underlying design principles provide living organisms with their incredible strength, resilience, and efficiency.
Matilda McQuaid, Deputy Director of Curatorial and Head of Textiles leads a discussion with Don Ingber, founding director of the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University, and his co-faculty member Pamela Silver. The panel discusses how Wyss scientists explored the permanent collection through a scientific lens in order to curate the exhibition Wyss Institute Selects, how they integrate design into their practice, and the implications for others interested in transforming the world through design.
