LINKAGE
A collaborative plateform to guide interdisciplinary biomimetic design teams during biomimetic processes.

WHAT IS LINKAGE

LINKAGE
A tool inspired from both engineers’ and biologists’ ways of reasoning and representing information

Goals

Bridge the gap
Bridge the disciplinary gap between Natural and Design Sciences through a common framework of reference

Increase efficiency
Increase biomimetic design teams' efficiency, and so contribute to biomimetics' implementation and spreading

Contributions

Collaboration
LINKAGE is a collaborative platform which embodies a cognitif framework combining biologist and engineers reasoning habits. Doing so, it improves communication within interdisciplinary design teams and supports the integration of biomimeticians or involvement of external experts.

Support
LINKAGE guides the design team's reasoning during the information's gathering, structuring and abstraction for the modeling of both technical problems and biological solutions. This tool is based on research findings and pay specific attention on offering a highly ergonomic content to ease the transfer from research to practice.

Data
LINKAGE allows design teams to store structured information, references, photos and files to capitalized on biomimetic studies. Information is only available by team members working on the project and is made available through an internal search engine.
