Abstract | ||||
The term "Biomimetic Architecture" encompasses a wide range of concepts. In terms of forms, materials, building methods, processes, or functions, simulated nature inspired by an organism or the behavior of an organism or the entire ecosystem. Although this simulation has no resemblance to the organism or ecosystem that inspired it, Biomimicry fosters architectural ingenuity. It's an ecological innovation, a new way of thinking and acting in terms of the environment. The goal of the research was to see if the Biomimicry approach might be used as a tool and strategy for sustainability while looking at its applications in design and architecture. The study and analysis as one of the new approaches and patterns in the field of architecture is explored, with the goal of imitating nature and using it as a source of inspiration while also delivering novel answers to man's problems. Organic simulation is a multi-level design process that incorporates principles and concepts that are inspired by nature. The goal of this article is to introduce and pique designers' interest in the biomimicry concept, which refers to sustainability through looking to nature for solutions. | ||||
