The simple complex honeycomb that has inspired so many inventions, technologies and engineering. Great article, loved it‼️ thanks. Oh and shark skin that changed the olympics forever by utilizing its design and form in swimsuit technology to break world records. 🥰

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the article. I wanted to include both honeycomb structures and shark skin innovations, but there were so many amazing examples to choose from... it was tough to decide!

Leonardo created a spiral staircase in marble that absolutely mimics a nautilus shell. I would love to climb those stairs. In his sketchbooks he records his curiosity and his conclusions. I don’t believe Leonardo saw himself as a part from nature, but as a part of nature; fascinated by what he saw and applying what he’d observed to solve other kinds of problems: rendering three dimensional objects on a two dimensional plane; catching the likeness of an individual by studying how it differed from the theoretical perfect. If he were to be born today, he’d still be ahead of his time.

I would love to hear a piece on What is beauty? How can something so subjective and personal be defined for the majority? My apologies if you’ve already written about this and I missed it.
