Dear Norbert, Manfred and other BIOMIMETICS subscribers,
the German references I referred to in previous messages follow, with
some comments:
Linde, H. & Hill, B. Erfolgreiche Erfinden : Widerspruchsorientierte
Innovationsstrategie für Entwickler und Konstrukteure. 1st. ed.
Darmstadt: Hoppenstedt, 1993.
This book is on WOIS (Contradiction Oriented Innovation Strategy), a
methodology which integrates TRIZ concepts and tools in the systematic
design process. It includes some biological examples and catalogues of
biological effects, but it is not dedicated to biomimetics.
Hill, B. Innovationsquelle Natur - Naturorientierte
Innovationsstrategie für Entwickler, Konstrukteure und Designer. Aachen:
Shaker Verlag, 1997.
This book is on NOIS (Nature Oriented Innovation Strategy). The
chapters: 1- Introduction. 2- The creativity of nature. 3 - The
solutions potential of nature. 4 - Catalogues for defining objectives
and finding solutions. 5 - Complex example: thermal regulation of
clothes. 6 - Work sheets. Half of this book is dedicated to solution
catalogs. Following previous German systematic design references (e.g.
Koller, Roth) it uses functions for indexing solutions and examples -
very similar to TRIZ effects databases.
Hill, B. Erfinden mit der Natur - Funktionen und Strukturen
biologischer Konstruktionen als Innovationspotentiale für die Technik.
Aachen: Shaker Verlag, 1998.
This one also includes catalogues of solutions and describes what Hill
calls the principles of biological design.
Hill, B. Naturorientiertes Lernen - Eine Einführung in die Bionik für
Lehrer. Aachen: Shaker Verlag, 1998.
It is a book for teachers. It explains NOIS concepts for teaching it and
includes some work sheets and exercises for fostering nature-oriented
learning.
Hill, B. Naturorientierte Lösungsfindung - Entwickeln und
Konstruieren nach biologischen Vorbildern. Renningen-Malmsheim: Expert
Verlag, 1999.
This one is similar to Innovationsquelle Natur, but includes some new
examples.
Nader, W. & Hill, B. Der Schatz im Tropenwald - Biodiversität als
Inspirations- und Innovationsquelle. Aachen: Shaker Verlag, 1999.
This last one includes some NOIS concepts, and it is strongly related to
pharmaceutical research.
Also, viel Spass!
Marco
