Abstract
Bio-design is a novel frontier in design research. So far no methodology has been concieved for bio-design. A methodology would render the field more accessible by those without deep biology knowledge. Existing bio-design applications were reviewed and a novel classification scheme was proposed. The classification scheme forms the initial step towards the design methodology and is also a key contribution to the emerging field of bio-design.
Keywords: design methodology, biomimicry (biomimetics), bio-design classification, biologically inspired design
