The biomimetic word; derives from the BIO word that means life and mimetic word that means imitate.
It is a new science that deals with the application of methods and natural systems to engineering and technology, through this concept it has developed a number of innovations far superior to that the human mind alone have conceived. The central idea is that nature, imaginative by necessity, has already solved many of the problems that we try to solve. The animals, plants, microbes are accomplished engineers.
They have found what works, what is appropriate, what lingers on earth. This is the real novelty of biomimetics; after 3.8 billion years of research and development (evolution), failures are fossils now! All surrounds us is the secret of survival. Thus, many scientists, designers, engineers, biologists, chemists, etc. have used this way of thinking to find effective solutions to real-world problems. In this paper a brief review of the use of this new concept in architectural design applications is analyzed.
