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
In her book, Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature (1997), Janine Benyus formulated a set of questions that can be used to establish the level of bio mimicry within an architectural design. In order to ensure that an architectural design follows the principles of bionics, the answer must be ‘yes’ to the following questions: [ citation ...
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 ...
His presentation, in which he describes how biomimicry could help transform architecture and society, has been viewed over 2.1 million times. Exploration Architecture's work was exhibited in a solo exhibition, at The Architecture Foundation in 2014; [9] featured in the Future Knowledge [10] exhibition at Modern Art Oxford in 2018; and Learning ...
The term biomimicry appeared as early as 1982. [17] Biomimicry was popularized by scientist and author Janine Benyus in her 1997 book Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature. Biomimicry is defined in the book as a "new science that studies nature's models and then imitates or takes inspiration from these designs and processes to solve human ...
Experimental Architecture is a visionary branch of architecture and research practice that aims to bring about change, and develop forms of architecture never seen before. [1] The common concept behind experimental architecture is the challenging of conventional methods of architecture in order to change the way in which we relate to the ...
Her book Biomimicry (1997) attracted widespread attention from businesspeople in design, architecture, and engineering as well as from scientists. Benyus argues that by following biomimetic approaches, designers can develop products that will perform better, be less expansive, use less energy, and leave companies less open to legal risk.

The C2C concept foresees its own certification of its analysis [33] and therefore is in contradiction to international publishing standards (ISO 14040 [34] and ISO 14044 [35]) for life-cycle assessment whereas an independent external review is needed in order to obtain comparative and resilient results.
