摘要：Biological systems which have evolved on Earth over millions of years and made it possible for organisms to take their shapes, adapt and survive,possess the highly optimised characteristics required today for the contemporary,sustainable development of our society: they are energy-efficient,in balance with the environment and morphologically effective. Detailed observation of natural processes and their properties has triggered an interest in new directions in research,associating natural sciences as well as 21st century technologies,which opens up new,controlled approaches to the shaping of the future: biomimetics. Today,biomimetics finds applications in all areas,including architecture and building. Biological models may be emulated, copied,learnt or taken as starting points for new technologies. Through studies of biological models new forms,patterns and building materials arise in architecture. Because of their properties,biomimetic nanomaterials,biomimetic technical textiles and biomimetic self-curing materials usually outperform conventional materials and constitute future challenges for architecture.
