Abstract
As a highly interdisciplinary field, architecture is being influenced by many subjects of natural and social sciences. While many subjects hold an indisputable effect on architecture, biological sciences are currently dominating the era. It is totally comprehensible for architects to observe, learn and copycat the natural phenomena on behalf of a better living. This biological framework evolved and shifted towards different approaches, especially with the advancements in the computer technologies and as a cause of this a better understanding of the nature’s production methods. Especially, for the last 10 years, as many literatures published and many studies done, this subject becomes more popular amongst architects. This paper aims to understand these design methods under the name of biomimicry and biomimetic architecture by reviewing the literature and research work done and examines these approaches under three categories like; bio morphological design, biomimetic design and bio design as pointing out the differences between each approach.
