Abstract | ||||
The vision behind biomimicry has always been the pursuit of solving the difficult problems that confront us in life in general, and architecture in particular. The coronavirus is without a doubt the most serious problem and the most dangerous threat since 2019 till now. And architecture has a human dimension that is interested in the prevention of infection and disease and keep human health. This necessitates architects and researchers to attempt to gain access to approaches that make human life less dangerous and threatening, as well as design that is safer and has fewer infection causes. The purpose of this paper is to create indicators that aid in the reduction of coronavirus infection by using nature and its characteristics as a model, which will serve as a starting point for the pandemic architecture of the coronavirus era. | ||||
