  2. Biomimetic architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomimetic_architecture

    Biomimetic architecture is a branch of the new science of biomimicry defined and popularized by Janine Benyus in her 1997 book (Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature). ). Biomimicry (bios - life and mimesis - imitate) refers to innovations inspired by nature as one which studies nature and then imitates or takes inspiration from its designs and processes to solve human problem

  3. Bionic architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bionic_architecture

    In their project, both researchers initially recognised the concept of bionics as ‘the science of systems based on living creatures’. [9] The idea was then expanded upon in 1997 by Janine Benyus , who coined the term ‘ bio mimicry ’ which referred to ‘the conscious emulation of nature’s genius'.

  4. Michael Pawlyn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Pawlyn

    In 2007 he established Exploration Architecture to develop work that employs biomimicry [7] as a guiding principal and brings together three lifelong passions - biology, design and the environment. At TED Salon London, November 2010, Michael Pawlyn became one of the small number of architects to have a talk posted to TED. [8]

  5. Regenerative design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_design

    Regenerative design is increasingly being applied in such sectors as agriculture, architecture, community planning, cities, enterprises, economics and ecosystem regeneration. [6] These designers are using green or sustainable design principles observed in systems ecology and recognize that ecosystems that are resilient typically operate in ...

  6. Experimental architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_Architecture

    This architecture is an example of ecologically focused structures that seek to replicate some of the properties of living systems, such as rainforests. It is a form of biomimicry, a practice, common in experimental architecture, that learns from and mimics the strategies found in nature to solve human design challenges. [16]

  7. Biophilic design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophilic_design

    Biophilic design is a concept used within the building industry to increase occupant connectivity to the natural environment through the use of direct nature, indirect nature, and space and place conditions. Used at both the building and city-scale, it is argued that Biophilic design offers health, environmental, and economic benefits for ...

  8. Janine Benyus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janine_Benyus

    Janine M. Benyus (born 1958) is an American natural sciences writer, innovation consultant, and author. After writing books on wildlife and animal behavior, she coined the term Biomimicry to describe intentional problem-solving design inspired by nature.

  9. Biomimetic material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomimetic_material

    Biomimetic materials in tissue engineering are materials that have been designed such that they elicit specified cellular responses mediated by interactions with scaffold-tethered peptides from extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins; essentially, the incorporation of cell-binding peptides into biomaterials via chemical or physical modification.
