Abstract

Biomimicry means innovative results by applying the principles of nature to the human industry. Today, environmental problems caused by excessive development have increased interest in sustainable development. There are also attempts to look at biomimicry as a way to sustainable architecture. Architectural design using biomimicry improves the function of the building in terms of results. It can also be used in the overall process of building, operation, and future disposal. However, until now, understanding of the architectural design using biomimicry is only done in fragments, such as new types of forms and technologies. Therefore, this study analyzes the method of using biomimicry in architectural design and the results shown through it. It comprehensively studies the design approach characteristics of biomimicry architecture. First of all, this study proceeds with a theoretical understanding of the concept of biomimicry and architectural design using it. Based on this, we analyze the case of architectural design using biomimicry. The case are analyzed by dividing them into methods of using biomimicry and results of using biomimicry. Through this, the design approach characteristics of biomimicry architecture are derived. As a result, it was confirmed that the concept of biomimicry not only affects the result of architectural design, but also complexly affects the process of applying natural principles to design and architecturally implemented.
