Biomimicry architecture provides innovative solutions to contemporary environmental challenges by drawing inspiration from nature's strategies to enhance sustainability and energy efficiency in the built environment. Plants, with their remarkable ability to adapt to changes in light, temperature, and humidity, serve as a central model for biomimetic design due to their potential to optimize energy use and improve building performance. By leveraging these natural principles, biomimetic architecture can significantly reduce carbon emissions and create eco-friendly structures that respond dynamically to environmental conditions. This approach not only addresses the urgent need for sustainable development but also fosters harmony between human-made environments and the natural world. This study offers a comprehensive review of biomimetic technologies, focusing on their role in improving energy efficiency and building performance. Also, it examines a range of global case studies that have successfully implemented biomimicry, showcasing its versatility and effectiveness across diverse environmental and architectural contexts. Based on these insights, this research proposes a novel design inspired by the moonflower plant, which adapts to its environment by responding to external stimuli. The proposed design applies these adaptive strategies to architectural solutions, enabling buildings to optimize performance by dynamically interacting with environmental conditions such as light and temperature. By analyzing biomimetic principles and their applications, this study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on sustainable architecture. It highlights the potential of biomimicry to balance environmental sustainability with economic growth, offering valuable insights for architects, designers, and policymakers seeking to create greener, more efficient built environments.
仿生建筑通过借鉴自然策略来应对当代环境挑战，为建筑环境中的可持续性和能源效率提供创新解决方案。植物具有适应光照、温度和湿度变化的卓越能力，因其具有优化能源利用和改善建筑性能的潜力，成为仿生设计的核心典范。通过利用这些自然原理，仿生建筑可以显著减少碳排放，并创建能动态响应环境条件的环保结构。这种方法不仅满足了可持续发展的迫切需求，还促进了人造环境与自然世界之间的和谐。本研究全面回顾了仿生技术，重点关注其在提高能源效率和建筑性能方面的作用。此外，它还考察了一系列成功实施仿生学的全球案例研究，展示了其在不同环境和建筑背景下的多功能性和有效性。基于这些见解，本研究提出了一种受月光花植物启发的新颖设计，月光花通过对外部刺激做出反应来适应环境。所提出的设计将这些适应性策略应用于建筑解决方案，使建筑物能够通过与光照和温度等环境条件动态交互来优化性能。通过分析仿生原理及其应用，本研究为可持续建筑领域不断增长的知识体系做出了贡献。它突出了仿生学在平衡环境可持续性与经济增长方面的潜力，为寻求创建更绿色、更高效建筑环境的建筑师、设计师和政策制定者提供了宝贵的见解。
