Abstract

As most of the people throughout the world host into cities so, urban environment should be a better place to live. The subject of sustainably needs to be focused in relation to this obvious trend: an avoidably rising of urban population and its fast development rate causes the problems of environmental compatibility between demographic burden and the amount of natural resources which cities consume. In this situation green building and sustainable development are the most important terms in construction industry. In Asia, the green building effort is still at an early stage, at levels below 5 in the sustainable scale of 1–10. Under such circumstances and in the area of sustainable architecture, biomimicry or bio inspired design is debated by researchers, professionals and experts. In fact, constructing green buildings and constructing old ones greener neither is going to work out the world’s environmental issues nor is it going to cause energy self-sufficiency or drop utility bills, but it is one of the most crucial areas on which we will probably see world fights about change with view to the protection of the atmosphere especially, with consideration to fast increasing of population.
