Bionic and Contemporary Architecture

The adaptation of the forms and phenomena of nature is not a recent concept. Observation of natural mechanisms has been a primary source of innovation since prehistoric ages, which can be perceived through the history of architecture. Currently, this idea is coming to the front again through sustainable architecture and adaptive design. Investigating natural innovations and the clear-outness of evolution during the 20th century led to the creation of a separate scientific discipline, Bionics. Architecture and Bionics are strongly related to each other, since the act of building is as old as the human civilization - moreover its first formal and structural source was obviously the surrounding environment.

Through the history of architecture every style has taken inspiration from nature. In parallel with its progress, architecture moved away from nature, however recently starting to realize once more the great achievements of evolution.

With the advancement of materials science not only revolutionary shaping solutions, but modern materials are available, aiming towards cost- and material-saving, high performance structures. Smart systems, as mimicry of a living ecosystem or organisation offers intelligent surveillance systems, responsive buildings and even the capability to synchronize whole district energetics.

It can be also concluded, that in ancient architecture, macro-level Bionics can be observed, by mimicking the form and structure of Nature. However, as the material science field and engineering evolves, the micro-level Bionics is more and more capable of using the natural phenomena as a source, creating smart and responsive systems mirroring the perfectly optimized natural systems.
