AB  - The implementation of responsive facades offers a promising strategy for reducing operational energy use while enhancing indoor comfort. These facades dynamically adjust their configurations, mirroring adaptive behaviors observed in living organisms. The bio-inspired responsive facade approach integrates principles from biomimicry and responsive architecture to develop systems that react intelligently to environmental stimuli. This study aims to analyze existing literature to identify key developments and trends in bio-inspired responsive facades. The research is conducted in three main phases. First, the study establishes its conceptual framework. Second, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis is conducted using the Web of Science database, employing science mapping techniques via VOSviewer and the Bibliometrix R package. This analysis uncovers major trends, turning points, influential authors, leading journals, and significant conferences, offering a clear overview of the research landscape. In the third phase, 33 facade designs are selected from 141 identified publications for comparative analysis. Each design is examined based on material, control systems, movement mechanisms, and functional objectives. The review explores their natural inspirations, responsive stimuli, and material strategies to derive insights for future innovation. Results reveal that 45% of designs focus on improving thermal comfort in hot climates, often utilizing active systems or smart materials. Folding and rotating mechanisms are the most common modes of movement. However, only five designs progress beyond the conceptual phase, highlighting the need for practical implementation. By mapping the evaluation of this interdisciplinary field, the study establishes a systematic foundation for advancing bio-inspired responsive facade research.
