Full textAbstract:
Under the umbrella of biologically informed disciplines, biomimicry is a design methodology that proponents often assert will lead to a more sustainable future. In realizing that future, it becomes necessary to discern specifically what biomimicry’s “promises” are in relation to sustainable futures, and what is required in order for them to be fulfilled. This paper presents research examining the webpages of the Biomimicry Global Network (BGN) to extract the claims and promises expressed by biomimicry practitioners. These promises are assessed using current literature to determine their presuppositions and requirements. Biomimicry’s promises are expressed in terms of potential for innovation, sustainability, and transformation and appear to depend on perceived relationships between humanity and nature; nature and technology; the underlying value judgements of practitioners. The findings emphasize that in order for the communicated promise of biomimicry to be realized, a particular ethos and respectful engagement with nature must accompany the technological endeavors of the practice.

Formulating how biomimicry relates to nature has been crucial to ‘deepening’ its theory. Currently, an autopoietic model of nature dominates the literature. However, advances in the natural and human sciences have demonstrated that autopoiesis does not adequately explain complex, dynamic, responsive, and situated systems. This article draws on Beth Dempster’s (1998) characterisation of ecosystems as sympoietic, that is as homeorhetic, evolutionary, distributively controlled, unpredictable, and adaptive, and on Donna Jeanne Haraway’s (2016) critique that entities do not pre-exist their relationships. We argue that using sympoietic processes of becoming as our model, measure, and mentor impacts biomimicry’s practice and relation to sustainability. Taking John Todd’s Living Machines as a case study, we explicate how sympoiesis unfurls autopoiesis. By integrating advances in the natural and human sciences into the philosophy of biomimicry, we address the limitations of the autopoietic model and provide a more comprehensive and adequate model of ‘nature.’

ABSTRACTNature can be a source of unlimited inspiration, biomimicry is an innovative approach to find sustainable solutions to overcome problems and meet human needs by imitating existing patterns and strategies in nature. The Industrial Revolution 4.0 brought many changes in human life, changes in lifestyles, ways of working, ways of learning, and ways of communicating between humans in many aspects. Most University students make use of technology to find and develop their ideas especially in creative industries where the OIM (Observe, Imitate, Modify) practice can be done through the Internet by observing from another researcher's observation. While biomimicry offers researchers to observe nature and create technology innovation inspired by nature. Students need to experience and learn from nature and use technology wisely. This study examines the biomimicryinspired works of Product Design undergraduate program students of Podomoro University Jakarta. The methodology research that we use in this study is a qualitative participatory method with comparative and correlational studies. The content of this study is to learn and evaluate the process and result of student's biomimicry observation into innovative product design. The conclusion can also be drawn that comparing the different levels of students which is the first year, second year, and third-year students by using the biomimicry observation approach will show variated concepts and skills on their work depending on what knowledge that they have learned from each semester. Pembelajaran Biomimikri sebagai Inspirasi dalam Inovasi Desain Produk di Era Revolusi Industri 4.0 ABSTRAK Alam dapat menjadi sumber inspirasi tanpa batas, biomimikri adalah pendekatan inovatif untuk menemukan solusi berkelanjutan untuk mengatasi berbagai permasalahan dan memenuhi kebutuhan manusia dengan meniru pola serta strategi yang nyata di alam. Revolusi Industri 4.0 membawa banyak perubahan dalam kehidupan manusia, perubahan gaya hidup, cara bekerja, cara belajar, dan cara berkomunikasi antara manusia dalam banyak aspek. Sebagian besar mahasiswa memanfaatkan teknologi untuk menemukan dan mengembangkan ideide mereka terutama di industri kreatif di mana praktik ATM (Amati, Tiru, Modifikasi) dapat dilakukan melalui Internet dengan mengamati dari pengamatan peneliti lain. Sementara biomimikri menawarkan peneliti untuk mengamati alam dan menciptakan inovasi teknologi yang terinspirasi oleh alam. Diharapkan dengan riset ini siswa bisa mendapatkan pengalaman nyata, mereka dapat termotivasi untuk mempelajari alam dan juga dapat menggunakan teknologi secara bijaksana. Riset ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji karya-karya yang terinspirasi biomimikri dari mahasiswa program sarjana jurusan Desain Produk Universitas Agung Podomoro Jakarta. Metodologi penelitian yang digunakan dalam riset ini adalah metode kualitatif parsitipatif dengan pendekatan korelatif serta komparatif. Konten kajian dalam studi ini merupakan evaluasi serta proses pembelajaran mahasiswa dalam penciptaan desain produk inovatif. Dari hasil riset ini dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa ternyata setelah melakukan perbandingan rancangan mahasiswa tahun pertama, kedua dan ketiga dengan menggunakan pendekatan observasi biomimikri maka ditemukan adanya perbedaan hasil serta tingkat keterampilan pada masing-masing angkatan tergantung dari pengetahuan yang mereka telah pelajari dan dapatkan di setiap semesternya.

This Article find five categories of biomimicry are proposed, divided into five levels. It should be noted that these categories are closely interrelated - a robot with a first or second level of structural biomimicry cannot have a fourth or fifth level of kinetic biomimicry, while a low level of sensory biomimicry will also mean the impossibility of achieving a high level of behavioral biomimicry - and vice versa. The least binding to other categories has the image biomimicry, a low level of which does not in any way affect the high level of any other category of biomimicry, but a high level of which is necessary to achieve an ideal fifth level of imitation.

Biomimicry, a design philosophy that is based on the principles of nature, presents a promising solution to the sustainability challenges faced by modern agriculture. Biomimicry agriculture endeavours to replicate the efficacy, resilience, and sustainability of natural systems by drawing inspiration from ecosystems. By analysing agricultural challenges and identifying the biomimicry approach in previous research, this study investigates the alternative method in biomimicry to ensure a sufficient food supply for agriculture. This document examines the adoption of biomimicry in the agricultural sector. A comprehensive content analysis of four case studies that concentrated on biomimicry farming systems and their integration with agricultural design was conducted. The case study selection was determined by the concept of biomimicry, which involves the transfer of inspiration from nature to the commonplace built environment. The results indicate that the design of Biomimicry is anticipated to enhance the efficacy of agriculture and technology in terms of environmental sustainability and well-being. The urban environment can be transformed through the application of biomimicry, as evidenced by this agricultural study. In summary, biomimicry has the potential to significantly improve the sustainability and resilience of agriculture. It has the potential to create innovative solutions that improve food security, conserve natural resources, and reduce the environmental effects of cultivation.

As populations increase and economic affluence expand, conventional farmers will be unable to meet the demand for food. Two main scenarios offer different solutions. The first scenario aims to further intensify scientific- and technology-driven agriculture research. The second scenario aims to radically switch to nature-based solutions in agricultural systems. There seem to be two interpretations of the nature-based solutions scenario: on the one hand, the interpretation of the IUCN regards nature-based solutions, such as regenerative agriculture, as using nature and denies a link with biomimicry; and on the other hand, the interpretation of the EU regards regenerative agriculture as an example of biomimicry. This raises the question: is regenerative agriculture a prime example of biomimicry or is it only a very important way to use nature in agriculture? To answer this question, we take a step back and philosophically reflect on biomimicry. Based on two definitions of mimesis, we distinguish between two concepts of biomimicry, a ‘strong’ concept which emphasizes natural principles and copying natural models, and a ‘weak’ concept, which emphasizes inspiration by nature and creative invention. Secondly, we describe and analyze regenerative agriculture as part of the nature-based solutions scenario and interpret regenerative agriculture first as ‘weak’ and then as ‘strong’ biomimicry. Both interpretations have their problems. To address these, we propose a new concept of biomimicry based on a new definition of mimesis. This enable us to differentiate between biomimicry, strict imitation of nature, and nature-inspired invention. We argue that our conceptualization of biomimicry helps to operationalize regenerative agriculture as a biomimetic technology.

Full textAbstract:
The integration of sustainable practices into construction processes and activities are imperative for achieving the greening agenda of the construction industry. However, there has been a proliferation of several sustainable construction practices (SCPs) with biomimicry standing out among them. As a novel approach that studies and emulates nature’s forms, processes, and strategies to proffer sustainable solutions to human challenges, biomimicry is beginning to gain momentum in its application across different sectors. This research sets out to identify what constitutes the barriers to the application of biomimicry. A structured questionnaire survey was conducted to establish the perception of construction professionals on the significant barriers to biomimicry adoption and implementation. A quantitative approach to data analysis was employed using the mean scores of the identified variables. Lack of awareness, lack of professional knowledge, and lack of training and education are identified as the top three barriers to biomimicry adoption and implementation. The study recommended that government, relevant professional bodies and stakeholders should encourage and embrace the adoption of biomimicry through awareness, education, training, and inclusion in the curriculum of institutions of higher learning. These will maximise the potential of biomimicry to aid innovative and sustainable outputs in the construction industry.

Taman Hutan Raya Abdul Latief (TAHURA) memiliki banyak potensi untuk dikembangkan sebagai salah satu daerah tujuan wisata di Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan khususnya pada Kabupaten Sinjai. Selain sebagai wisata pendidikan tentang tumbuhan serta pelestarian satwa yang dilindungi, Tahura ini juga dapat menjadi wisata alam dengan pemandangan yang indah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian dengan cara pengumpulan data dengan melakukan survei atau pengamatan langsung ke lokasi, setelah itu dilakukan wawancara atau tanya jawab dengan pihak – pihak yang ada relevansinya dengan objek serta penggambaran dengan dokumentasi fotografi. Maka dari penelitian ini ditemukan terjadinya ketidakstabilan kunjungan wisatawan di Tahura ini mengindikasikan bahwa ketertarikan masyarakat untuk menikmati daya tarik kawasan ini menurun karena tidak didukung oleh pembangunan dan pemeliharaan pada objek – objek wisata maupun sarana prasarana penunjang. Untuk menambah perwujudan kreativitas arsitektur pada desain ini maka diperlukan penerapan pendekatan biomimikri dimana dapat menghasilkan arsitektur yang ekspresif.Kata kunci: Taman Hutan Raya; Abdul Latief; Arsitektur Biomimikri Abstract _ This study aims to obtain the design of the Abdul Latief Forest Park as a medium Education and Tourism with a Biomimicry Architectural Approach. Abdul Latief Forest Park (TAHURA) has a lot of potentials to be developed as a tourist destination in South Sulawesi Province, especially in Sinjai Regency. Apart from being an educational tour about plants and the preservation of protected animals, Tahura can also be a natural tourism place with beautiful scenery. The research method used is the research method by collecting data by conducting surveys or direct observation to the location, after which interviews or questions and answers are conducted with parties that are relevant to the object and depiction with photographic documentation. So from this research, it is found that the instability of tourist visits in Tahura indicates that the public's interest in enjoying the attractiveness of this area is decreasing because it is not supported by the development and maintenance of tourist objects and supporting infrastructure. To add to the manifestation of architectural creativity in this design, it is necessary to apply a biomimicry approach which can produce expressive architecture.Keywords: Forest Park Botanical Garden; Abdul Latief; Architecture Biomimicry.

Biomimicry practice and pedagogy unify biology and design for problem solving inspired by nature. Pedagogy that supports biomimicry practice can facilitate the development of novel solutions to address societal needs and challenges. Even though biomimicry affords the possibility to address sustainability, its current practice does not necessarily lead to doing so, which can result in exploitation of nature and increased unsustainability. Recognition of this risk exists but is not yet widespread in biomimicry pedagogy, and few structured methodologies are available to support learner’s efforts towards sustainability. The difficulties associated with incorporating sustainability within biomimicry are numerous and varied. In this report, we contribute to an understanding of incorporating sustainability in teaching and learning. We describe a pedagogical framing and conceptual scaffolding developed and used to bring sustainability into a biomimicry course for design- and biology-minded engineering students that integrates available biomimicry and design language, tools, and methods. We scaffold consideration of structure-function and conditions conducive to life separately, and then unify these perspectives in a way that is accessible to students. This approach centralizes sustainability in biomimicry practice and asks students to consider the ethics of design practice and responsibility to the natural world. We are encouraged by student outcomes, observing clear signs of creative systemic thinking and higher-level learning from nature. Based on pre- and post-design sprint results, students significantly shifted away from a narrower structure-function practice towards addressing conditions conducive to life. We propose that biomimicry educators and facilitators make a commitment to always include a sustainability approach within their pedagogy or explicitly acknowledge their delivery does not provide for it.

Biomimicry involves studying and imitating nature's strategies and features in man-made design and technology. This approach fosters innovation in industrial, scientific, and design projects, drawing inspiration from the exceptional adaptations, processes, and structures of organisms. The primary goal of biomimicry is to comprehend the complexity and efficiency of natural ecosystems, leveraging this understanding to develop sustainable technologies and utilize natural resources more effectively. While humans have drawn inspiration from nature for thousands of years, the modern term gained popularity in the mid-20th century. Biomimicry is integral to sustainability, offering solutions in harmony with nature by integrating its balances into man-made systems. In medicine, biomimicry taps into the characteristics and processes of natural organisms to inspire innovative treatment methods and materials. In education, it equips students with the skills to comprehend and replicate nature responsibly, inspiring future designers and scientists. Ethical considerations emphasize that learning from nature should occur without causing harm to the natural environment. To unlock its full potential, biomimicry requires broader acceptance, integration into industrial applications, and technological advances for sustainable resource use. The energy sector, for instance, can benefit from biomimicry by enhancing the efficiency of solar panels through inspiration from photosynthesis, offering environmentally friendly energy production solutions. In essence, biomimicry is the key to discovering sustainable, innovative, and ethical solutions inspired by nature. As we delve into the richness of the natural world, this approach plays a pivotal role in shaping future technology and design. This review focuses on current biomimicry research, particularly highlighting its potential in the energy sector. The paper aims to serve as a blueprint for future achievements while shedding light on the unseen limitations of biomimicry.

Biomimicry is a growing field of research in architecture and engineering. It is characterized as a flora, fauna or entire ecosystem that is modeled as the basis of design because of its potential to create a more sustainable or regenerative built environment. However, one obstacle that needs to be noted in the application of biomimicry is in terms of the lack of a clear definition of the various biomimicry approaches that can be used by designers. The objectives of the study include analyzing biomimicry and its integration methods in architectural design as well as identifying various biomimicry approaches in architectural design. Through a literature review, this research paper describes different approaches to biomimicry design. A comparison of biomimicry and ecomimicry has been highlighted to discuss the differences in features that aid in design. These diverse approaches can lead to different outcomes in terms of overall sustainability. Next, the biomimicry approach in architectural design that combines the understanding of ecosystems can necessarily be the main pillar to create a built environment in the integration and regeneration of natural ecosystems. From the research, it becomes increasingly clear that a shift in the approach to the designed built environment must be made Imitating life, including the complex interactions between living organisms that make up ecosystems are examples that are easy to find and learn. This approach provides mutual benefits between humans and nature and should be a future agenda.

The main application of Biomimicry has been to produce artifacts and ideas from what we can know about what nature has already done. Many artists have devoted themselves to the development of works with poetics of hybridization and mimicry. How close would they be to Biomimicry? Or would they be Bioinspiration? This discussion is the starting point to present the “VIRIDIUM” project, which focuses on the development of semi-autonomous and translucent 3D-printed sculptures. In addition to the Biomimicry (Biomimetics), Bioinspiration and Darwinian evolution concepts, the concept of Artification is also addressed as a possible model of understanding the poetic process, both in "VIRIDIUM" and in the works of the artists listed.

Full textAbstract:
Biomimicry is an interdisciplinary approach to study and transfer principles or mechanisms from nature to solve design challenges, frequently differentiated from other design disciplines by its particular focus on and promise of sustainability. However, in the biomimicry and biologically inspired design literature, there are varying interpretations of how and whether biomimetic designs lead to sustainable outcomes and how sustainability, nature, and mimesis are conceptualised and engaged in practice. This paper takes a particular focus on the built environment and presents a theoretical overview of biomimicry literature spanning across specific fields, namely architecture, philosophy, sustainability and design. We develop upon conceptual considerations in an effort to contribute to the growing calls in the literature for more reflective discussions about the nuanced relationship between biomimicry and sustainability. We further develop a ‘Biomimicry for Sustainability’ framework that synthesises recent reflective deliberations, as a possible direction for further theorisation of biomimicry, aiming to elaborate on the role of biomimicry as a sustainable design methodology and its potential to cultivate more sustainable human–nature relations. The framework is used as a tool for retrospective analysis, based on literature of completed designs, and as a catalyst for biomimetic design thinking. The objective of this paper is to serve as a point of departure for more active and deeper discussions regarding future biomimetic practice in the context of sustainability and transformational change, particularly within the built environment.

Biomimicry is the study of natural structures, mechanisms and ecosystems to create more ecologically sustainable designs. It plays a vital role in searching for new tools and techniques to solve human problems by adopting natural phenomena. Many experts now view nature through biomimicry for motivation with its instinctive ability for sustainability and proven flexibility to interruption. Biomimetics is not a recent trend; the idea of looking into nature for inspiration is in practice for a long time. Human innovations have borrowed from nature throughout history. Essential elements of biomimicry are ethos, emulate and reconnect. Philosophies of biomimicry emphasise nature’s features, thereby implying that humans have much to learn from nature with evolutionary knowledge. Biomimicry is a modelling tool; the design process is usually divided into two categories; biology to design and challenge to biology. Research folk imitate natural phenomena in three levels viz., form, process, and ecosystem level. Nowadays, biomimicry is used in almost every field, from architecture to computer science. Biomimicry can help with structural quality, water efficiency, zero-waste systems, the thermal atmosphere and energy supply. Fluid-drag-reduction swimsuits inspired by the structure of shark skin, velcro fasteners inspired by burrs, aeroplane shapes inspired by the appearance of birds and stable building systems inspired by termite mounds, honeycombs, and other biomimetic experiments are only a few examples.

Abstract Biomimicry is an applied science that mainly depends on deriving inspiration from various natural solutions to human problems for making practical applications through the study and examination of natural phenomena, designs, systems, and processes. Historically, designers have dealt with nature as an essential source of innovation and inspiration. In future architecture, biomimicry will be applied to achieve sustainable design. Thus, the paper assumes that biomimicry is an environmental solution for optimizing the thermal performance of office buildings through the building’s skin. The purpose of this paper specifically is to determine and clarify the effective indicators of applying biomimicry to the skins of office buildings in hot climate countries. This will be accomplished by discussing the general concept of biomimicry and its definitions, approaches, and levels. Then, selected examples of biomimetic skin of office buildings in hot climate countries will be shown, analyzed, and compared to determine the most effective biomimetic indicators that will be suggested to be applied to the office building skin. As a result, the effective use of biomimicry as a tool for sustainable design leads to optimizing building thermal performance, optimum thermal comfort for users, and increased productivity for employers in office buildings. Based on indicators, biomimicry as a creative approach to achieving sustainable design will support architects, students, and scholars in achieving sustainable office building design.

Biomimicry, as a field of science, is mainly defined as a solution for design problems inspired by natural models, systems, and elements. For the built environment, using nature as a guide can enhance sustainability or even go beyond that and generate a regenerative approach. This is important in the building sector to evolve towards a sustainable and circular economy and reduce CO2 emissions in terms of energy-use. While several biomimicry-related keywords exist, scholars and practitioners in architecture have given varying interpretations to the term biomimicry depending on the use and goal. There has been increasing interest in biomimicry in architecture (BIA), yet the field has become more fragmented. This study aims to highlight differences and similarities through an extended literature survey and analysis that explores case studies, classification systems, and methodological frameworks related to biomimicry in architecture as a way to contribute to reduce the fragmentation in the field. To provide the necessary context and avoid confusion regarding the many concepts and terms that refer to nature-based design, biomimicry-related keywords and interpretations of the word biomimicry are first clarified. Ultimately, the discussion is an integrative effort at defining the field, and highlights the significance and impact of employing BIA in terms of sustainability and usability, as well as showcasing the opportunities for further research.

Biomimicry promises great progress in ecological design. Advocates, hinging on the work of Janine Benyus, argue that biomimicry enhances sustainable technologies. This essay suggests conceptual and ethical improvements to biomimicry: first by considering Michael Fisch’s concept of bioinspiration through studying Neri Oxman’s Silkworm Pavilion and second, through the articulation of a new concept of biosophia, drawing on Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s late Institution and Nature lectures. His investigation of seemingly impossible proto-mimicry prior to perception discloses a deeper comportment toward biomimicry, revealing its conditions of possibility in intercorporeal expressivity. Biosophia grounds a deeper ethic of collaboration with other lifeforms.

Abstract Health issues in the 21st century have become essential in addition to sustainable development issues. Health is an urgent need to find solutions to problems so that human health is always maintained. Health issues are also influenced by the built environment, one of which is studied in the concept of healthy building. A healthy building has several criteria that can be a point of view to see if the building is healthy or unhealthy. Physiological, psychological and disease transmission problems are the main problems faced by users who use unhealthy buildings. Biomimicry architecture emerged due to technological and scientific advances, in which cross-disciplinary science has become the power of knowledge today. Biomimicry architecture is a design approach that uses nature to solve human problems. Health problems and the need to produce healthy buildings can use biomimicry architecture as a problem-solving method. This paper uses a descriptive qualitative content analysis method on various written references related to biomimicry architecture and how biomimicry architecture produces healthy buildings. The conclusion of this study shows that biomimicry architecture is an approach to using natural inspiration to solve human problems, one of which is building health. Implementing principles found in nature delivers buildings designed with a biomimicry architectural approach to be healthier. That is due to the successful application of natural traits that are always adaptive, efficient, effective and live in line with the environment in the built environment.

This literature review of biomimicry and related models of treating nature as a meta-resource on a mega-scale integrates concepts of resources and abundance. Biomimicry, which lies at the intersection of biosciences and industrial design, is a praxis for drawing on designs and processes found in nature and using them as inspirational sources for technologies. Environmental anthropology often focuses on processes such as extraction and commodification that position nature as governed by an economy of scarcity with its existential state characterized by attenuation. The paradigm of biomimicry, on the other hand, construes nature as an infinitely renewable and generative mega-resource and meta-resource, one that is governable by an economy of abundance rather than scarcity. This literature review analyzes intellectual and epistemological trends and frameworks that have served as precursors to and have emerged around biomimicry across disciplines that treat the paradigm of biomimicry as a highly variable epistemological object.

Biomimicry is a rising popular ecology movement and method that urges the derivation of innovative and environmentally sound design from organic systems. This essay explores the notion of nature in biomimicry as articulated by the movement’s founder, Janine Benyus, and the nature of biomimicry as practiced by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) media ecologist Neri Oxman. Benyus’s approach, I show, promotes biomimicry as a science of nature in which nature is treated as a source for innovative design that can be emulated in technological apparatus. Such an approach is problematic, I argue, for its valorization of organic form, which results in both a rigid system of ethics demanding absolute separation of nature and technology. By contrast, Oxman’s work, I show, pursues biomimicry as a technology of nature. In so doing, I argue, it mobilizes a neomaterialist style of interaction with organic materials that ultimately enjoins a radically different way of thinking nature, technology, and technoethics.

Abstract The integration of biomimicry with the biology subject was proposed as a teaching approach that was a productive way to support a group of pre-service teachers to teach STEM. This article focuses on the pre-service teachers’ perceptions of biomimicry, designing, and transformation of the design to teach STEM procedures. The study was set up in the context of a compulsory course during pandemics. A qualitative case study was used. The data were collected and analyzed by using descriptive and inductive thematic analysis. For the findings, the majority of pre-service teachers perceived biomimicry by connecting it to the basic knowledge of evolution theory. Two main approaches of noticeable biomimicry design which were performed by the pre-service teachers consisted of identifying problems to biology, and examining nature to design. This study has implications for educators trying to establish biomimicry activities to support and develop science teachers to take on the challenge in STEM teaching.

With the development of the biomimicry approach, new and creative ideas have been established to solve problems in architectural design. In the designs based on this process, “nature” is used as a diverse data source for the transfer of these data to various processes, functions, materials, and structures. The primary purpose of this paper is to explore the development of biomimicry as an architectural approach, with a bibliometric review of research related to biomimicry and energy efficiency. Emphasis on the importance of the need for biomimicry in modern designs is another goal of this study. In this study, articles published in the Web of Science database (2010–2021) were analyzed. VOSviewer and SankeyMATIC software were used to represent the analysis results graphically. According to the results of this study, in addition to the inadequacy of biomimicry research, the need for further research became apparent. This review can serve as a reference for future studies to transfer natural phenomena to architecture in order to solve the problem of efficient energy consumption.

Globally, the construction sector is regarded as one of the major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, freshwater usage, resource utilization, and solid waste generation. With a constantly growing population and increased urbanization, this is only predicted to rise. Thus, achieving sustainable development in the construction sector has become an urgent necessity. The adoption of biomimicry in the construction sector is one of the most innovative concepts towards the shift into sustainable practices in construction. However, it has been noticed that the concept of biomimicry is very broad, relatively new, and abstract. Thus, after reviewing previously conducted research on the subject, a noticeable lack of knowledge on the effective implementation of the biomimicry concept was found to be present. Therefore, this research seeks to fill this knowledge gap whereby it aims to explore the development of the biomimicry concept in the field of architecture, building construction, and civil engineering with a systematic review approach of research related to biomimicry in these three fields. This aim is guided by an objective of developing a clear understanding of the application of the biomimicry concept in architecture, building construction, and civil engineering fields. The timeframe considered for this review is between 2000 and 2022. The qualitative exploratory nature of this research focuses on reviewing databases such as Science Direct, ProQuest, Google Scholar, and MDPI, as well as book chapters, editorials, and official websites to extract relevant information using an eligibility criterion of title and abstract review, inclusion of key terms, and detailed review of chosen articles. This study will improve the understanding of the biomimicry concept and how it can be applied in the built environment.

Full textAbstract:
Function is a key central concept to the practice of biomimicry. Many published models of the biomimicry process include steps to identify, understand, and translate function of biological systems. Examples include functional modeling, decomposition, or abstraction with tools specifically designed to facilitate such steps. A functional approach to biomimicry yields a semantic bridge between biology and engineering, enabling practitioners from a variety of backgrounds to more easily communicate and collaborate in a biomimicry design process. Although analysis of function is likely a necessary part of biomimicry design, recent work suggests it is not sufficient without a more systematic understanding of the complex biological context in which a function exists (e.g., scale and trade-offs). Consequently, emerging tools such as ontologies are being developed that attempt to capture the intricacies of biological systems (including functions), such as their complex environmental and behavioral interactions. However, due to the complexity of such tools, they may be under-utilized. Here, we propose a solution through a computer-aided user interface tool which integrates a biomimetic ontology with a thesaurus-based functional approach to biomimicry. Through a proof of concept illustrative case study, we demonstrate how merging existing tools can facilitate the biomimicry process in a systematic and collaborative way, broadening solution discovery. This work offers an approach to making existing tools, specifically the BioMimetic Ontology, more accessible and encompassing of different perspectives via semantic translation and interface design. This provides the user with the opportunity to interface and extract information from both the Engineering-to-Biology Thesaurus and the BioMimetic Ontology in a way that was not possible before. The proposed E2BMO tool not only increases the accessibility of the BioMimetic Ontology, which ultimately aims to streamline engineers’ interaction with the bio-inspired design process, but also provides an option for practitioners to traverse biological knowledge along the way, encouraging greater interdisciplinary collaboration and consideration when conducting biomimicry research.

Biomimicry is a growing field of developing environmental innovations for materials, facade systems, buildings, and urban planning. In France, we observe an extensive diversity of initiatives in biomimicry for the development of regenerative cities. These initiatives blossom in a large range of areas, from education to urban policies, to achieve a major environmental, social and economic paradigm shift. To provide a comprehensive understanding of this development at the national scale, this paper presents and discusses the diversity of the developed initiatives over the last 10 years in six main fields-education, urban policies, fundamental and applied research, design demonstrators, arts, and communication. This research is an opportunistic study based on the analysis of these initiatives enriched by the feedback of the stakeholders collected by the authors working in the field of biomimicry over the last seven years. We identify that biomimicry in France has mainly extended through individual initiatives of teachers, territorial authorities, architectural studios, or researchers rather than through the support of public policies. Putting into perspective developments in biomimicry by other countries, this cross-discipline analysis provides recommendations for the extensive development of regenerative architecture and urbanism at the national scale.

The environmental problems getting more chronic every day direct academics to design buildings considering the influence of nature. One of the most important methods of sustainable building design is biomimicry. The aim of this article is to examine the studies on the use of biomimicry in architecture, to raise awareness about sustainable building design and to create a guide for future researchers. It has been determined that most of the studies examined are in search of solutions for sustainable building design by examining nature. Studies on biomimicry, especially in architectural education, try to raise awareness to understand its importance in terms of sustainability by including this subject in architectural education instead of examining nature. The combination of simulation technique and field research technique is the most preferred method for the use of biomimicry in sustainable building design. It is thought that this study will be a guide on how to reveal the mysteries of nature for sustainable building design and the criteria that should be emphasized in order to reveal these mysteries. In addition, it is thought that it will create awareness about the use of biomimicry in architecture in sustainable building design

Biomimicry, the process of using nature to guide innovative thinking and development, can be useful in helping students grasp scientific concepts. Teachers interested in incorporating biomimicry into lesson plans might find that experiential learning at informal science institutions (ISIs) with natural models and artifacts is a valuable tool to accompany classroom learning. Visiting these ISIs, students have the opportunity to observe nature in real time and be immersed in inspiration. As students explore these natural models in habitats and exhibits, educators might ask students to consider the interesting features they observe and to creatively consider innovative designs that these features could inspire. For example, an elephant’s trunk might inspire a robotic arm. These direct experiences at ISIs might draw upon students’ innate biophilia to learn more about living organisms and lead to increased creativity and design output. I developed this guide based on my experiences as an informal biomimicry educator and my 2017 keynote address presented at the Annual Docent Conference at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.

AbstractThe emerging field of biomimicry and learning to design with and for nature has expanded in recent years through a diversity of educational programs. Inspiration following natural forms may give the appearance of being sustainable, but the question remains, how sustainable is it? Misunderstanding the function of these forms may leave designers with products not as sustainable as desired. Biomimicry education addresses these issues by integrating three essential elements into their design thinking phases and by using analogical transfer while doing so. This field learns from nature as model, nature as measure, and nature as mentor, throughout the design process. Through examination, analyses and verification of students designs and reflective processes at The Hague University of Applied Sciences, this research considers natures analogies in educational factors, determining which elements are influential when incorporating biomimicry into design education.

This study investigated the views of middle school students on the effectiveness of science courses conducted with biomimicry. To this end, phenomenological design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The study group consisted of 10 students in grades 5 and 7 who continued their education in a middle school located in the central district of Ankara province in the 2021-2022 academic year. Participants were determined through criterion sampling. The data collected through semi-structured interviews were analyzed using descriptive analysis. Based on the findings, codes and themes were created. According to the results of the study, students emphasized that science courses conducted with biomimicry activities increased their motivation and contributed to their academic and social development, as well as improving their creativity. In addition, due to the permanence of knowledge and the fun nature of the lessons, students also want to use biomimicry-based activities in other courses. In the study, how students overcame the challenges they faced was also examined. In this context, student responses indicated that the activities took too much time, they had difficulty deciding on the organism to be inspired by, and that a lot of thinking was required. Providing options for students to conduct biomimicry activities in areas of their interest will encourage greater participation. It is recommended to conduct more comprehensive studies on integrating biomimicry into science courses using different measurement tools and different study groups. It is thought that the widespread use of biomimicry activities will have a positive impact on students' motivation and academic achievement.

Biomimicry creates designs inspired by nature and uses ecological benchmarks to assess their sustainability. It is believed that biomimicry can help society produce and consume in more sustainable ways, as well as address some of the key challenges facing the world today. However, research into the applications of and possible barriers to using biomimicry for creating more sustainable Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) projects is still limited. This paper addresses this gap by undertaking and analysing twelve semi-structured interviews with leading global experts and practitioners in the field of biomimicry as applied to the built environment industry. The study identifies substantial potential in the use of biomimicry in AEC projects, including the following: adopting circular approaches; enhancing interactions between human and natural infrastructure; optimising material and energy use; recycling and re-use of materials; reducing time and costs; plus more collaborative and interdisciplinary working. However, a wide range of multifaceted barriers also exist that are currently hindering the exploration and exploitation of this potential, including the following: lack of knowledge; insufficient research and testing at the scale of AEC projects; fragmentation, poor communication and traditional nature of the industry; perception of high risks and costs; as well as outdated and unsuitable legislation and planning processes.
