Biomimicry as an Approach to Create Architectural Resilient Projects

Nature isthe primary mentor and source of instruction for scientists and architects 
alike. Biomimicry is a design methodology that combines nature and technology. 
It uses the principles of nature as a way of thinking to create a resilient and 
sustainable built environment. In addition to, it is an innovative approach that 
simulate biological process, shapes, and systems to reach sustainable and resilient 
solutions. In the other hand, resilience in buildings is the ability to meet the human
needs and provide for safe, steady, and comfortable use to change conditions 
outside. The term "resilience of design building" refers to its resistance, 
recoverability, and adaptability, the latter of which is generally associated with 
outside circumstances.
This research aims to engage in design using biomimicry methodologies and 
resilience principles. Also answering the following question: How can use 
biomimicry for achieving and creating resilient buildings?
The research also emphasizes how to access the principles of resilient design in 
biomimicry buildings by studying biomimicry approach meaning, levels of 
biomimicry, inspiration methodology in biomimicry approach, and resilient 
buildings meaning.
Finally, the basic points and principles for the design of resilient buildings are 
applied to engage them with design by using biomimicry methodologies by 
analysis and discussing of 4 biomimicry projects. The projects are Beijing 
National Aquatic Center “the water cube”, Milwaukee Art Museum, Beijing 
National Stadium “Bird’s Nest Stadium”, and Tao Zhu Yin Yuan “known as 
Agora Garden”. The research concluded that biomimicry approach achieves 
resilience principles in buildings.
