Biomimetic Architecture: The Path to Drive Climate Action, Foster Sustainable Cities, and Attain the SDGs, and the Coverage
This chapter presents an introduction and background of the book and the reason why it is focusing on biomimicry and biomimetic architecture in the age of the COVID-19 pandemic and climate crisis. It also provides a review on biomimicry and biomimetic architecture’s definitions as well as the biomimicry’ significance in the age of COVID-19, including attitudes, connectivity to nature, and proenvironmental behaviors, and learning through neighborhood’s access to green spaces amid COVID-19 since nature is a great source of inspiration to biomimicry. In addition, the chapter highlights the needs for new approaches to attain livability, sustainable development with emphasis on biomimicry and energy efficiency, and circularity and biomimicry built environment as well as the SDGs. Moreover, the chapter attempts to answer the thoughts about whether biomimicry can aid in developing urban spaces and creating healthier buildings indoors. It also portrays the role of biomimicry in climate change adaptation and highlights biomimicry and post-COVID regulations. Furthermore, this chapter presents models of innovation in biomimicry and recent iconic examples of biomimetic architecture built in EXPO 2020. At the end of this chapter, readers can have a full comprehension of the structure book, which is articulated over two main parts and encompasses eight chapters (including this chapter). Finally, the chapter depicts a final note from the lead author about biomimetic architecture and its role in creating sustainable and livable cities.
