Examination of Biomimetic Studies Produced in the Intersection of Biomimicry and Kinetic Architecture Approaches in the Scope of Sustainable Architecture

Nature is in perfect harmony with every living thing it interacts with and has developed abilities such as high-level perception, information processing and performance in the face of changing conditions. The way nature has followed and the strategy it has adopted are a source of inspiration for biomimicry and kinetic architecture. The aim of this study is to examine and evaluate the biomimetic studies produced in the intersection of biomimicry and kinetic architecture approaches that emerge by observing nature and developing strategies adopted by nature within the scope of sustainable architecture. Within the scope of the study, the effect of nature as a guide on architectural designs, the potential of biomimicry and kinetic architecture approaches to be solutions were examined with examples, and the intersections of biomimicry and kinetic architecture approaches with designs that can adapt to today's conditions and environmental changes were analysed. Analysis studies have concluded that both approaches have potentials to be applied to sustainable architectural design.
