Bio Architecture

This document discusses the topic of bio-architecture and its relevance to the author's thesis. It begins with an introduction to bio-architecture, which aims to design buildings in harmony with nature by being well-integrated with their sites. The document then provides examples of structural, functional, and spatial aspects inspired by nature, such as honeycomb structures and webbed feet. It also distinguishes between bio-mimetic and bio-functional architectural approaches. Bio-mimetic seeks sustainability solutions by understanding natural forms and rules, while bio-functional seeks stability by replicating natural forms and functions. Examples of each type are provided.
