This book provides the readers with a timely guide to the
application of biomimetic principles in architecture and
engineering design. As a result of a combined effort by two
internationally recognized authorities, the biologist Werner
Nachtigall and the architect Goeran Pohl, the book describes the
principles which can be used to compare nature and technology, and
at the same time it presents detailed explanations and examples
showing how biology can be used as a source of inspiration and
"translated" in building and architectural solutions (biomimicry).
Even though nature cannot be directly copied, the living world can
provide architects and engineers with a wealth of analogues and
inspirations for their own creative designs. But how can analysis
of natural entities give rise to advanced and sustainable design?
By reporting on the latest bionic design methods and using
extensive artwork, the book guides readers through the field of
nature-inspired architecture, offering an extraordinary resource
for professional architects, engineers, designers and urban
planners, as well as for university teachers, researchers and
students. Natural evolution is seen throughout the book as a
powerful resource that can serve architecture and design by
providing innovative, optimal and sustainable solutions.
