Abstract:

Biomimicry is an old approach in science, but in the field of architecture and engineering it is new, it is an approach inspired and innovated from the emulation of nature. In the recent years the approach of biomimicry bring many potential to the architecture and design process field. With the discovery of natural organisms that inspires the design and applications process in architecture lead to a sustainable development. The discursive perspective outlined the influence of the industrial revolution on design and architectural, and the need for a sustainable approach is structural, material applications, concepts and others is necessary. Currently the world is facing with many problems which are environmental and aggravating with time. The biomimicry is the solution for effective strategies of innovations and can have a great impact and potential of meeting the current challenges of designing efficient for forms or structures, climate issues, and energy efficient. The aim of this article is to present a synthesis of the biomimicry approach especially through the energy efficient approach of design, and to propose biomimicry as a solution for the development of different case studies from around the world. The method used in this research is qualitative method, the study analyse the case studies of four different projects that uses Biomimicry for energy efficiency, which are efficient each in a different way. Biomimicry presents itself as a basic, a foundation for a new research in architecture, it has to be approached from a multi-disciplinary order of thought in order to understand the principle of nature to achieve a holistic design approach. In this paper a discussion about the use of biomimetic strategies in the energy efficient buildings is formed. The main objective of this study is to analyse the ability of reducing energy consumption through the application on buildings.
