Biomimetic architecture
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 problems.
