                            <p>Doğa, sayısız zorluğa yanıt olarak uyum sağlama ve evrimleşme konusundaki olağanüstü yeteneğini uzun zamandır sergilemekte ve dünya sürekli değişim geçirirken kendini geliştirmeye devam etmektedir. Bu doğal yaratıcılıktan kaynaklanan bir kavram olan biyomimikri, doğanın ilkelerini ve stratejilerini taklit etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Son yıllarda, bu yenilikçi yaklaşım çeşitli tasarım sektörlerini giderek daha fazla etkilemiş ve mühendislik, kimya, mimari ve mobilya tasarımı gibi alanlarda ekolojik uyumla uyumlu sürdürülebilir çözümlerin ve araçların geliştirilmesini teşvik etmiştir. Bu bakış açısına uygun olarak, Atatürk Üniversitesi Mimarlık Fakültesi İç Mimarlık Bölümü&#039;nün “Mobilya Tasarımı 1” dersine kayıtlı öğrencilere, doğanın formlarından ve mekanizmalarından ilham alan oturma üniteleri yaratma gibi ilgi çekici bir görev verildi. Bu proje, öğrencileri tasarım ve üretim süreçlerinde biyomimikrinin dönüştürücü potansiyeline daldırırken, yaratıcı düşünme becerilerini geliştirmeye teşvik etmeyi amaçladı. Bu deneyime daha derinlemesine bir bakış açısı kazanmak için, elli öğrencinin katıldığı iki bölümlü bir anket gerçekleştirildi. Öğrencilerin yanıtları, kavramsallaştırma ve uygulama gibi önemli aşamalarda doğadan ilham alan fikirlerin etkisini ortaya koydu. Ayrıca, geri bildirimler, tasarlanmış bir mobilya parçasının üretimine aktif olarak katılmanın mesleki gelişim ve yetkinliğe nasıl katkıda bulunduğunu vurguladı. Bulgular, biyomimikrinin bir tasarım felsefesi olarak oynadığı önemli rolü vurguladı ve tasarım süreci boyunca yaratıcılığı artırma ve yeniliği yeniden tanımlama kapasitesini gösterdi. Ayrıca, uygulamalı bilimleri içeren iç mimarlık gibi bölümlerde üretim atölyelerinin önemi vurgulandı.</p></trans-abstract>

Biomimicry, a concept rooted in this natural ingenuity, seeks to emulate nature&#039;s principles and strategies. In recent years, this innovative approach has increasingly influenced various design sectors, driving the development of sustainable solutions and tools aligned with ecological harmony across fields like engineering, chemistry, architecture, and furniture design. In line with this perspective, students enrolled in the &quot;Furniture Design 1&quot; course at Atatürk University&#039;s Faculty of Architecture, Department of Interior Architecture, were presented with the intriguing challenge of creating seating units inspired by nature&#039;s forms and mechanisms. This project aimed to immerse students in the transformative potential of biomimicry during both the design and production processes while encouraging them to expand their creative thinking abilities. To gain deeper insight into this experience, a two-part survey was conducted involving fifty students. Their responses shed light on the influence of nature-inspired ideas during key stages such as conceptualization and execution. Additionally, the feedback highlighted how active participation in crafting a designed piece of furniture contributes to professional development and competence. The findings highlighted the important role biomimicry plays as a design philosophy and demonstrated its capacity to enhance creativity and redefine innovation throughout the design process. Additionally, the importance of production workshops in departments such as interior architecture, which involve applied sciences, was emphasized.</p></abstract>
