CHALLENGES IN INTEGRATION OF BIOMIMICRY IN ARCHITECTURE:, 2021

Nature has spent billions of years solving and refining so many of problems that we as humans are facing today and so it is logical for us to learn from nature’s existing solutions to solve our issues of sustainable design. The field of biomimicry rises from the view that these natural systems of adaptation can be emulated in the design of buildings as well as other aspects of technology. Some have even tried to draw analogies from nature to apply them to non-design fields like sociology and business. This paper is primarily a review of current literature covering approaches and theories on the subject of biomimicry and how it may be applied to architecture so as to produce more sustainable buildings. It concludes that biomimicry is the veritable for sustainability.
Although there are many studies and approaches to designing more sustainable buildings, there is limited research on ecologically sustainable design approaches that can alleviate waste of resources by understanding the adaptation methods in natural systems. This research aims to examine biomimicry in architecture as a potential way forward for sustainable building design with the idea of co evolution where the ever growing field of technology can intersect with nature in a positive way and help buildings become closed positive loops wherein we also take care of the how the building can give back to the nature not only during its life period but also after it.
