Biomimetic design pedagogies have been systematically explored over the past two decades. The study, abstraction, and transfer of biological strategies into human-designed solutions have demonstrated significant potential in addressing contemporary environmental challenges and enhancing participants’ creativity, critical thinking, and research skills. Most biomimetic design approaches begin with either a bottom-up or top-down strategy, often benefiting from the collaboration of transdisciplinary teams of instructors. Despite the continued evolution of biomimetic design methods, consistent documentation of their application and the transmission of this pedagogy into professional practice remains limited. This project aims to present and analyze the pedagogical approach and outcomes developed over five years of continuous work to establish a robust biomimetic design course tailored to graduate-level architecture students. The teaching method follows a hybrid style, integrating tools and processes from multiple disciplines and biomimetic methodologies while allowing the course structures to be refined and iterated continuously. The work of five cohorts of students is examined, and their outcomes are compared and analyzed to demonstrate the effectiveness of biomimetic design exercises. The discussion identifies key challenges and opportunities encountered throughout the process. It offers insights to advance biomimetic pedagogy and contribute to its development as a critical architectural and engineering education component. The hybrid biomimetic method developed for this graduate-level course establishes a comprehensive and adaptable framework that fosters the integration of biologically inspired solutions in environmental design while promoting creativity, innovation, and environmental responsibility.
