"The culmination of the work of seventeen students over a five year period of research and teaching. This book represents the development of a method for design ideation and a desire to position design in a world where organisms are the key agents in new material chemistry. The design studio course asked the simple question, how can insects, as they pertain to biotechnology, be used as the basis for the development of a wide range of design ideas? Over fourteen weeks in the fall of 2014, students in the undergraduate Design Studio 3 course (DSGN 3021) in the Division of Design at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, carried out work that tested this proposition."--p. 001
