This project addresses unforeseen pathways to impact by sharing insights and findings arising from the AHRC Leadership Fellow Bid, 'Bio-Inspired Textiles (BIT)' with new design communities and non-academic product design audiences. The overall aim of the BIT project has been 'to determine if biomimetic principles can be drawn upon: to advance sustainable textile design and production processes; to positively contribute to the circular economy; and to consequently develop an accessible framework as a template for the wider dissemination of biomimetic textile design practices as state of the art (SoA)'.The BIT framework connects information from a comprehensive review of Biological Structural Design Elements (BSDE) led by Naleway (2015), intended for a material science audience, with processes and techniques specific to the textile disciplines using communication design and storytelling. Our research has demonstrated the value of this approach and opportunities to widen impact beyond textiles. We have also found that the BIT framework supports a model of sustainable design for resource (material and energy) efficiency, longevity and recovery (RELR). We evidence both these outcomes via the analysis of the practice of 14 funded textile makers and 38 Masters level textile students and a wider study of 134 textile practitioners. Our research has also highlighted that mind-set, lack of access to specialist knowledge and practical examples constitute the key obstacles preventing textile designers from accessing information from biology and ultimately advancing the sustainability and/or circularity of their practice. Our communication activities designed to share our practice-based outcomes with the textile design community via social media have stimulated significant unexpected interest from the broader design community leading to a subsequent additional study of a wider range of design practices. We found significant alignment between the obstacles reported by the textile and broader design practitioner samples. The proposed activities build on the outcomes of BIT to mitigate these issues and respond to the need for practical design methodologies that enable concepts from biology to inform product and broader design disciplines. The project is guided by two key aims:a. Share insights pertaining the BIT framework and model of sustainable design (RELR) with the product design community of practiceb. Enable stakeholders to access and investigate the positive impact of the expanded BIT renamed Bio-Inspired Design (BID) framework and sustainable design model RELR. (Stakeholders to include representatives from product design industry, primary and secondary education (KS1-4) as well as interested public, i.e. individuals interested in a career in design, those seeking to understand how sustainable and/or circular models can be implemented via design practice). .

该项目通过与新设计社区和非学术产品设计受众共享AHRC领导人竞标“ Bio Indpired Textiles（BIT）”而产生的洞察力和发现来解决不可预见的途径。 BIT项目的总体目的是“确定是否可以借鉴：推进可持续的纺织品设计和生产过程；为循环经济做出积极贡献；因此，为了开发一个可访问的框架作为模板，以更广泛地传播仿生纺织品设计实践作为艺术状态（SOA）'。该位框架连接了由Naleway领导的生物结构设计元素（BSDE）的全面审查（BSDE）的信息（Naleway（BSDE）（ 2015年），旨在使用沟通设计和讲故事的纺织学科特定的过程和技术。我们的研究证明了这种方法的价值和机会，以扩大纺织品的影响。我们还发现，该位框架支持一种可持续设计的模型，以实现资源（物质和能源）效率，寿命和恢复（RELR）。我们通过分析14位资助的纺织品制造商和38位大师级纺织学生的实践以及对134名纺织从业人员的更广泛研究来证明这两种结果。我们的研究还强调，心态，缺乏获得专业知识的机会和实践示例构成了关键障碍，阻止纺织品设计师从生物学中获取信息，并最终提高其实践的可持续性和/或循环。我们旨在通过社交媒体与纺织品设计社区分享我们基于实践的成果的沟通活动激发了更广泛的设计社区的重大意外兴趣，从而导致随后对更广泛的设计实践进行了其他研究。我们发现纺织品和更广泛的设计从业人员样品报告的障碍之间存在很大的一致性。拟议的活动基于BIT的结果，以减轻这些问题，并响应实用设计方法的需求，从而使生物学的概念能够为产品和更广泛的设计学科提供信息。该项目以两个关键目标为指导：分享有关可持续设计（REVR）的位框架和模型的见解与实践设计社区。使利益相关者能够访问和调查扩展的位更名为生物启发的设计（BID）框架和可持续设计模型的积极影响。 （利益相关者包括产品设计行业，中小学教育（KS1-4）的代表以及感兴趣的公众，即对设计职业感兴趣的人，那些寻求了解如何通过设计实施可持续和/或循环模型的人实践）。 。
