Designed to Move

“Designed to Move: Seeds That Float, Fly or Hitchhike through the Desert Southwest” was organized with photographer Taylor James and botanists from ASU’s Herbarium and the Desert Botanical Garden, Phoenix. The exhibition, which featured Taylor’s macrophotography, explored not only the surprising beauty of desert seeds but also how their functional diversity could inspire designs for such human applications as self-activated robots and more efficient wind-turbine blades.
