Abstract Details

2015, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Architecture.
Using nature as inspiration `mimicking the functional basis of biological forms, processes, and systems to produce sustainable solutions. Biomimicry offers from biophilia in that it is not about the bond between nature and humans, but about using nature as a mentor. The study explores the reasoning behind using biomimicry as a design-tool, in terms of building design and masterplanning to design a riverfront proposal in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.
