The document discusses biomimetic architecture, which is architecture that is inspired by nature. It takes design principles from nature, such as structures and processes found in organisms, their behaviors, and entire ecosystems. Examples provided include buildings designed to mimic structures like seashells, trees, birds' nests, and more. The document advocates for biomimetic design principles that can make architecture more sustainable by emulating nature's effective functions like climate control and use of natural resources.
Biomimicry offers a holistic and deeply rooted method for achieving true sustainability. Nature embodies more than four billion years of experience perfecting the designs and behaviors that make organisms and living systems thrive. This unique presentation was created by a biologist and architectural designer, both professionally trained in Biomimicry and sustainable building design.

Conference presentation: 2009, Pedersen Zari, M. 'An architectural love of the living: Bio-inspired design in the pursuit of ecological regeneration and psychological wellbeing'. In Brebbia, C. (Ed), Sustainable Development IV, WIT Press.
A growing amount of architectural discourse explores analogies between ecosystems and living organisms, and architectural design that increases the capacity for regeneration. This is referred to here as bio-inspired design. This paper examines the relationship between biophilic and biomimetic approaches to architectural design as two aspects of bio-inspired design.
The theory that bio-inspired design is inherently linked in the creation of regenerative architecture, able to increase capacity for self repair in both living ecosystems and the human psyche is examined. Intersections, or mutualisms between design to improve the wellbeing of ecosystems and design to improve human wellbeing, such as biomimicry and biophilia, are analysed and may illustrate the key aspects of bio-inspired design that could contribute to regenerative design. The implications of such an approach are discussed, and the scientific basis of such a process is investigated.

Biomimicry in the Built Environment SPARC10Melissa Sterry
Melissa Sterry's presentation 'Biomimicry in the Built Environment: Sourcing Sustainable Design and Engineering Solutions From Nature' shown at Salford Postgraduate Annual Research Conference, held at University of Salford, 11th June 2010.
‘Biomimetic Approaches to Architectural Design for Increased Sustainability’,...Dr Maibritt Pedersen Zari
Biomimicry, where flora, fauna or entire ecosystems are emulated as a basis for design, is a growing area of research in the fields of architecture and engineering. This is due to both the fact that it is an inspirational source of possible new innovation and because of the potential it offers as a way to create a more sustainable and even regenerative built environment. The widespread and practical application of biomimicry as a design method remains however largely unrealised. A growing body of international research identifies various obstacles to the employment of biomimicry as an architectural design method. One barrier of particular note is the lack of a clear definition of the various approaches to biomimicry that designers can initially employ.
Through a comparative literature review, and an examination of existing biomimetic technologies, this paper elaborates on distinct approaches to biomimetic design that have evolved. A framework for understanding the various forms of biomimicry has been developed, and is used to discuss the distinct advantages and disadvantages inherent in each as a design methodology. It is shown that these varied approaches may lead to different outcomes in terms of overall sustainability or regenerative potential.
It is posited that a biomimetic approach to architectural design that incorporates an understanding of ecosystems could become a vehicle for creating a built environment that goes beyond simply sustaining current conditions to a restorative practice where the built environment becomes a vital component in the integration with and regeneration of natural ecosystems.

Various examples is creation of spaces, using Nature - its form and function. The examples in initial slides are worst examples, what people usually think about nature in Architecture. It is not mimicking Nature, but using it.
Biomimicry is a process by which an innovation is produced by imitated life or we can say nature.
A technology-based on nature's process.
The technology is formed by taking Nature as 3Ms i.e Model, Measure, and mentor.
This presentation addresses the topic of Biophilic Designs as it pertains to designing smart cities, smart communities, smart buildings, smart offices, and smart homes. It also offers several examples from all over the world.
Biomimicry is the field of science which is inspired from nature by one or the other way. There are thousands of ideas already present in the nature with the help of which we can modify or innovate new things to solve our complexes.

This piece showcases Ounis's mastery of form and texture, as he seamlessly combines metal and wood to create a dynamic and visually striking composition. The juxtaposition of the two materials creates a sense of tension and harmony, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between nature and industry.
3. Derived from ;– bio - life
memises - immitate
It is an alternate solution in search of sustainable
buiding design and technology….
The inspiration from nature is driving force in
architecture, resulting in majestic works of
architecture.
Bio mimicry is about solution refined and are
developed by nature…
4. Bio mimicry design
is not only adapting
the design from the
nature but also
considering how to
use nature’s
effective functions
such as heating and
cooling system,
protecting natural
light and
ventilation.
5. One of the earliest examples of Bio mimicry
was the study of birds which enabled humans
to gain the technology of flight.
Though, it could be argued that our
ancestors mimicked the techniques of the
animals around them to become more
successful hunters or gatherers, or to create
better shelter.
Nature has been offering immense ideas and
inspirations to designers for creating
architecture

7. Bio mimicry is a new science that studies
nature’s models and then emulates these
forms, process, systems, and strategies to
solve human problems – sustainably.
Bio mimicry uses an ecological standard to
judge the sustainability of our innovations.
After many years of evolution, nature has
learned what works and what lasts.
Bio mimicry is a new way of viewing and
valuing nature. It introduces an era based
not on what we can extract from the natural
world, but what we can learn from it.
8. Biomorphism-
Incorporation of natural
elements as inspiration in
design originated with the
beginning of man-made
environments and remains
present today.
The ancient Greeks and
Romans incorporated
nature into design such as
the tree-inspired columns
9. Bio mimicry can work on three
levels:the organism, its behaviors, and
the ecosystem.
Buildings on the organism level mimic a specific
organism. Working on this level without
mimicking how the organism participates in a
larger context may not be sufficient to produce
a building that integrates well with its
environment
On a behavior level, buildings mimic how an
organism behaves or relates to its larger
context.
On the level of the ecosystem, a building mimics
the natural process and cycle of the greater
environment.

19. This is the chrysalis of
the Monarch butterfly
know as the wanderer in
New Zealand there this
treehouse was inspired
by its chrysalis.
20. In fact, under this new order of
sustainability, buildings, outdoor art and
other manmade structures would function
like trees, meadows, flora and fauna,
capturing, cleaning and storing rainwater;
converting sunlight to energy and carbon
dioxide to oxygen;and eliminating waste.
There is need for future young Architects
and designers to Create bio-inspired design
adaptations that emulate nature’s best ideas,
so that all futuristic buildings will be
sustainable.
