Biomimicry and Parametrism
Abstract: Abstract: The research paper explores the concepts of biomimicry and parametricism and how they relate to architectural design. While parametricism is a design process that uses computational algorithms to produce complex and adaptive architectural forms, biomimicry is an interdisciplinary approach that draws inspiration from nature's answers to design difficulties. This paper explores the fusion of these two ideas to produce novel and sustainable architecture designs. The study provides an overview …
