About book

Physical structures and developing systems are designed to response the new Requirements of the societies. Million years, the principles learned from nature are identified and they can solve engineering problems as a design method. So, the quality and the process of inspiration from nature to achieve a product are very important. In engineering and architectural approach these techniques and patterns are matched together, in order to achieve the optimum function and aesthetic of form. The case study of each natural structure has new lessons for engineers in quality of coordinating form with structure. The bionic science, as an interdisciplinary science between metallurgy and biology, is an engineering discipline based on the lessons learned from nature. In bionic discipline bio-structures are studied and the relation between structure and properties are identified in order to developing process methods and designing micro-structures for new materials. Bionic researchers identify the parameters according to the similarities between natural systems and engineering systems.  The limitations of inspiration are depended on structural and mechanical differences. The objective of the biomimetic as a biological process science is producing engineering systems which have properties and similarities to live systems or producing engineering systems that are subordinate of live systems, also making a rational and real balance between man and nature. So, this balance is inspired from nature and can support the human needs and respects the health of nature in relation with ecological systems. Bionic design is not an individual design based on the ability of designer, so it is a team work design depended on the cooperation of different disciplines. 

Summary, In this regard, the book is dividing in three parts:

1.      Back ground: nature, mathematical.

2.      Introducing bionic: principle and methods of bionic.

3.      Five level of bionic and example in architecture.
