Investigating the basics of residential tower design with the view of bionic architecture in Birjand

Today, the increase in population and land prices has made the high-rise building or vertical development of cities inevitable. Some of the benefits of vertical development of cities are preservation of land, reducing environmental degradation, reducing transport and intra-urban traffic, as well as reducing environmental pollution and energy consumption due to horizontal development. Designing a tall building is the ultimate outcome of a complex process that one of its most important problems is solving the structure problem. From the beginning of human civilization, the mysterious nature world has been a good tool for solving such problems, and the bionics is the same science that removes the gap between nature and technology. Bionics is a science composed of a combination of different concepts of natural sciences and engineering, and, is a good answer to the technical and structural problems of engineers by studying the complex systems of living organisms and natural forms. By accepting the height to cross-section ratio, as a scale for elevation, the human body structure is considered as a long structure, the human spinal cord form is used in the tower design.
