MODELS FROM NATURE FOR INNOVATIVE BUILDING SKINS

Abstract

The general aim of this research is to transform the knowledge of biological systems (natural solutions) into architectural knowledge for the design of innovative building skins. The basic questions for research are formulated as follows: What are the best skin models in nature? How are these models utilized in the best way for building skin? What kind of building skins can be improved to adapt to changing conditions? In this context, the study aims to determine with a literature review, effects of biological paradigm to building skin design, innovative ideas and concepts produced in this process; how biological principles used in design on conceptual/experimental and applied projects by analysis study, what kind of solutions are produced. The analysis study reveals that an approach based on the principles of the models in the nature is a unique resource for presenting innovative ideas to architects and for solving problems experienced today.
