A Review on the Role of Bionic Structures in Sustainable Architecture and Environment

Nowadays, there is a growing interest in bionic structures, as a new discipline that looks to nature as a model and mentor, and also in biomimetic methods of design. Bionic building energy efficiency and bionic sustainable architecture are important means of ensuring harmony between buildings and the natural environment, maintaining ecological balance, and achieving the sustainable development of buildings Based on a review of bionic technologies for building form, functions, structures, materials, and processes, this study analyzes applications and typical cases of bionic building energy efficiency and bionic sustainable architecture. The aesthetic aspects, lightweightness and earthquake resistance of bionic structures are also discussed. Finally, the applications of bionic sustainable structure in tall buildings are noted. In short, the development of bionic building energy efficiency and bionic sustainable architecture should follow and respect natural laws. It is necessary to study the mechanisms used in biological systems combined with modern building technologies, which should be employed to support building innovation and to realize the rapid development of building energy efficiency and green buildings
