Abstract

Motivated by global climate change, including global warming and greenhouse gas emissions, architects and designers 
undertook a duty to look for more efficient, sustainable building systems. Among the modern tools used to tackle the 
building functionality and climate-related problems is biomimicry. Aiming to enhance self-sustainability, widen 
ecological building elements, and boost building behaviour efficiency, bio-mimicry draws from nature mimicking the life 
principles of biological role models which have proved to overcome similar challenges; thus, reaching building 
behaviour's targets. The paper specifically discusses the embodiment of bio-mimetic strategies into building behaviour 
elements that increases building behaviour efficiency.
