Biologically Inspired Design: a Macrocognitive Account
نویسندگان
چکیده
Biologically inspired engineering design is an approach to design that espouses the adaptation of functions and mechanisms in biological sciences to solve engineering design problems. We have conducted an in situ study of designers engaged in biologically inspired design. Based on this study we develop here a macrocognitive information-processing model of biologically inspired design. We also compare and contrast the model with other information-processing models of analogical design such as TRIZ, case-based design, and design patterns.

متن کاملA content account of creative analogies in biologically inspired design
The growing movement of biologically inspired design is driven in part by the need for sustainable development and in part by the recognition that nature could be a source of innovation. Biologically inspired design by definition entails cross-domain analogies from biological systems to problems in engineering and other design domains. However, the practice of biologically inspired design at pr...

The paradigm of biologically inspired design views nature as a vast library of robust, efficient and multifunctional designs, and espouses the use nature as a source of analogues for inspiring novel designs in domains of interest such as architecture, computing, engineering, etc. Over the last generation, biologically inspired design has emerged as a major movement in engineering, architectural...
متن کاملCompound Analogical Design: Interaction between Problem Decomposition and Analogical Transfer in Biologically Inspired Design
Biologically inspired design (BID) can be viewed as an example of analogy-based design. Existing models of analogy-based design do not fully account for the generation of complex solutions in BID, especially those which contain compound solutions. In this paper we develop a conceptual framework of compound analogical design that explains the generation of compound solutions in design through op...
