Biomimetics in architectural design
In a brief review of aspects of biology relevant to architectural design, a number of biological organisms are considered, delivering design ideas for the improvement of tree structures in the Sagrada Familia; better insulation (ideas from penguin feathers and birds’ nests) and cooling of buildings in a hot climate; light but stiff floor plates (derived from the morphology of cuttlebone); supply of fluid through a branching system of pipes and a better fire extinguisher using ideas from the spray mechanism of the bombardier beetle.
