The Incorporation of Biomimicry into an Architectural Design Process: A New Approach towards Sustainability of Built Environment

Abstract

A brief literature review on Biomimicry and Architecture has been arranged into a rational system and has been systematically customized to find the application of Biomimicry in the design processes involved architecture. The main objective of this research is to find out how Biomimicry principles help in architecture of space, structure or enclosure, its experience in space & time, technological achievement, program or strategy development and compatibility to its context. Mapping of research literature has been done on the basis of a framework of the System of Inquiry, Strategies and Tactics.
