Designing Structural Systems Based on the Hip Joint

Bionics and bionic architecture is a science which deals with the technical inspiration of buildings from different behaviors and communications of the world of organisms and solve technical issues through biological ways. Bionics was initially proposed in the 1950s and is visible in a variety of the works of different sciences. Today, bionic architecture is introduced as one of the three world’s top sciences and this shows that the world has realized that inspiring from nature and that nature itself would be very efficient at this time period. Given that living organisms have been changed over time according to their evolutionary trend, thus they have the best structure according to the environment and the architecture which is consistent with them, is a responsive architecture with the capability of interacting with its environment.There are extensive examples in nature for modeling and many of them have already been used. In the meantime, taking advantage of the human body especially in the field of construction has been neglected. At first glance, it might be thought that the human body is very complex, but having studied this point, we can conclude that in spite of our imagination, it is much understandable structure and yet useable. There have been also many studies about its’ anatomy.In this article, we have tried to achieve an appropriate design for the/its structural system by kinesiology of the hip joint and recognition of the relation of all its components with each other in order to find an efficient structure like the hip joint. OR In order to find an efficient structure like the hip joint, recognizing the relationship with all of its components must be found.
