Analysis of Biomimicry in the Design of Sustainable Buildings and Nature (Case Study: Biological Organisms)

In the search of sustainable building design and technology Biomimicry is an alternative solution. The inspiration from nature is driving force in architecture, resulting in majestic works of architecture. Biomimicry is about solution refined and developed by nature. For any sustainable building design, need to consider structural efficiency, water efficiency, zero-waste systems, thermal environment, and energy supply. Biomimicry is about solutions. Biological organisms refined and developed by natural selection over a billion year research and development period can be seen as embodying technologies, functions, and systems that are solutions to the problem of surviving in nature. These problems are often equivalent to those encountered by humans as we seek new ways to design and live sustainably, and in many cases have solved the same problems with a far greater economy of means. This paper aims at revealing how radical increase in resource efficiency can be achieved by looking to the nature for inspiration. Exploring the application of Biomimicry in current architectural design, resulting in a set of design approaches, levels and principles. The paper also discuss about the architects work inspired by nature.
