Learning from Nature for Sustainable Solutions in Architecture: Biomimetic Lightweight Structure Designs

Recent advances in technology have enabled nature's design principles to be understood and communicated more effectively than ever before. Using nature as a mentor, the biomimetic approach is practice of generating solutions from nature’s systems, processes designs solve human problems. However, although this new field architecture, it has potential transform sustainable building construction. Hence, article explores source for lightweight structures architecture. In research, approach, examples how they can applied are discussed. context, “Shell Lace Structure, Trabeculae Pavilion, NonLin/Lin BUGA Fibre livMatS 3D-Printed Tower Light” projects examined The analysed terms natural model/system refer to, purpose which were built materials used. show that by learning applying environment, aesthetic, functional, high-strength designed. As result, offers guiding ideas architects environmentally friendly, innovative respond today's
