바이오미미크리에 기반을 둔 건축디자인 사례연구 - 바이오모피즘(Biomorphism)에서 바이오미미크리(Biomimicry)로의 통시적 변화를 중심으로

Abstract

As bio-technology develops and accumulates, the more we realize the shallowness of our current knowledge about surrounding nature. Biomimicry is a field of research sorting out numerous wisdom and recognizing inspiration from nature through 3.8 billion-years’ successful self-proven history to solve our impending problems with far greater efficiency. To understand properly the concept and its’ trends of biomimicry, the research follows several steps. Firstly, the holistic concept and historic traces of biomimicry was analyzed diachronically through the literature study. Secondly, 26 biomimicry relevant architectural precedents were collected from the search of the relevant literature and the internet. Thirdly, those collected examples were analyzed by 4 inspirational criteria; Form & Space, Function & Structure, Response & Kinetics, Integrated System to understand the latest trends of biomimicry architecture and to foresee the desirable directions of it. The results from the research shows the trends of biomorphic architecture is shifting into the preference of biomimicry architecture pursuing an self-supporting efficient city, which can close the open loop of our current eco-system with solutions for our impending environmental problems.
