Abstract

Biomimicry is a novel approach to developing design's and products to solve construction problems by taking inspiration from nature. It could offer a sustainable alternative solution to complex and conventional design in the best eco-friendly way. Biomimicry includes mimicking the shape, properties, methods, principles, and processes of nature. This paper reviews the existing biometric inspired civil engineering systems and architectures. In this paper various examples are taken from the nature and applied in design, like the regeneration process in lizard inspires the self-healing property of concrete, by mimicking termite mound, a passive cooling system could be developed, bridge design is one of the vital aspects of structures of biomimetics which is derived from the load carry process of trees. In a similar way, various other structures are being developed by getting inspiration from the creation of nature, as we move towards creating more sustainable construction and decreasing the carbon footprints in the infrastructure industry. Hence incorporating the potential of the mother earth will lead to the enhancement of structural stability and elegance. It will in turn preserve the earth in her best form.
