Specific learning objectives for the design studio include the followings:
•Identify and solve a specific problem within the nexus of energy-water-food system in built environment;
•Intentionally emulate one or more mechanisms, processes, patterns, or systems found in nature;
•Rapid prototyping nature's emulation;
•Enhance the sustainability and resillience of the nexus system, from an environmental, social, aesthetic, aspirational and economic perspective; and
•Compete in the 2017 Global Biomimicry Design Challenge.

Our globally connected cities is incredibly complex with problems and opportunities for change. There is no single solution that can address all the issues. To improve our nexus design in built environment overall, we will need solutions at a variety of scales and in a variety of sectors, all working together.
Consider urban resilience system challenges and leverage points for adaptability, recovery and even future survival simulations in urban designing. The nexus of systems is made up of many smaller systems and components, and is connected to other systems. Each of the subsystems and leverage points contain multiple opportunities for innovative built environmental design and redesign focused on achieving responsible and high ecological services and environmental performance. Not all components may be considered, however, graduate students are to explore biomimicry process and apply them conceptually with sound research basis and develop rapid prototying ability.
