Abstract

 Bionics is the complex interdisciplinary field in which biological systems and evolution are applied in solving engineering problems and developing modern technology. Bionic architecture is the organic integration of science, technology, art and nature. Architects everywhere have been trying to break away from traditional methods of designing buildings and now, they have discovered bionic architecture where building designs are inspired by nature. The principal goal of bionic architecture is to provide the improvement of architectural quality and to deliver new perspectives towards innovation in architecture and design. Bionic architecture looked more alive and vibrant than architecture built based on other disciplines, it creates structures with unique designs in attempts to investigate new approaches to sustainable design  that derive from the evolutionary development of living systems, from their material properties or from their adaptive response to changes in the environment. The main purpose of this work is to outline and present a theoretical framework for understanding and reassessing bionic architecture methods, approaches and levels, in terms of overall sustainability which gives a picture of what the architecture of the future is going to look like.
