Abstract
The ‘Nature Inspired Creative Design’ cluster brought together people from three main areas: Nature and Biology, Art and Design, and Science and Computing. It aimed to establish a forum for cross-fertilisation between disciplines, within the overall topic of adopting nature inspired approaches to creative design. Its members explored a wide range of subjects, including evolution, growth and development, emergence and self-organisation, robustness, natural structures, and human design behaviour and performance.
This chapter presents the background and ideas of the cluster, predominantly from a computational viewpoint. It also presents some of the result of the initial 1-year funded phase of activity.
