MODELS FROM NATURE FOR INNOVATIVE BUILDING SKINS

Abstract

The general aim of this research is to transform the knowledge of biological systems (natural solutions) into architectural knowledge for the design of innovative building skins. The basic questions for research are formulated as follows: What are the best skin models in nature? How are these models utilized in the best way for building skin? What kind of building skins can be improved to adapt to changing conditions? In this context, the study aims to determine with a literature review,  effects of biological paradigm to building skin design, innovative ideas and concepts produced in this process; how biological principles used in design on conceptual/experimental and applied projects by analysis study, what kind of solutions are produced.

MODELS FROM NATURE FOR INNOVATIVE BUILDING SKINS

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın genel amacı, yenilikçi bina kabukları tasarımı için biyolojik sistemler bilgisini (doğadaki çözümleri) mimarlık bilgisine dönüştürmektir. Araştırmaya temel olan sorular şu şekilde formüle edilmiştir: Doğadaki en iyi kabuk modelleri nelerdir? Bu modeller yapı kabuğu oluşturmak için en iyi şekilde nasıl kullanılır? Değişen koşullara uyum sağlamak için hangi tür yapı kabukları geliştirilebilir? Bu bağlamda, çalışma bir literatür taraması ile biyolojik paradigmanın yapı kabuğu tasarımına, bu süreçte üretilen yenilikçi fikirlere ve kavramlara etkilerini belirlemeyi; kavramsal/deneysel tasarımlar ve uygulanan projeler üzerinden, biyolojik ilkelerin nasıl kullanıldığını, ne tür çözümler üretildiğini analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır.
