The concept for this unique motorcycle design was derived from studying birds of prey, which are known for their swiftness, accuracy, glide and aerodynamic beauty. This design approach of using natural forms as models for human-based needs is called Biomimicry. It involves synthesizing knowledge from biology, engineering and design to create products or product systems. There have been many innovative products designed for medical, recreational, military and transportational needs. The motorcycle was designed by Tim Bennett for Prof. Haig Khachatoorian’s ID 202 Sophomore Industrial Design Studio in Spring Semester 2006. nonprofit permit u raleigh . s . paid

This affiliation also supports the college’s land-grant mission to serve the citizens and communities of North Carolina.” CAM will be able to draw on the skills and creativity of the students and faculty of the College of Design in offering visitors innovative ways of engaging with and appreciating contemporary art and design. The result will be a museum filled with energy and imagination and an education and outreach program that promotes a greater

Building tours took place after the ceremony, followed by the college’s annual back-to-school barbecue. Riley Contracting Group sponsored the event, along with Knoll and Carolina Business Interiors. 2 The newly renovated Leazar houses the College of Design’s materials lab, loom, design basics studios, painting and sculpture studios, seminar spaces and faculty offices. The $8.3 million renovation project was funded by the North Carolina Higher Education Bond Referendum passed in 2000. Leazar Hall was built in 1912, and has been renovated twice prior to the current renovation, in 1922 and 1983. During its 96-year history, Leazar has served as a dining hall, student store, print shop, housing 3 rental office, and payroll benefits office.
