Title of the article | Trends in development of the bionic approach in architecture |
Abstract. | Problem statement. Nature has historically been a source of knowledge and inspiration for architects, allowing them to create new forms, approaches, constructive and engineering solutions. With the development of science, a direction called Bionics appears in the theoretical knowledge of architecture. Trends in the development of this area expand and change the understanding of architecture, which ultimately transforms the environment created by man. Analyzing the current issues of this approach, it is possible to form and systematize an architectural apparatus for solving a variety of architectural issues. The main outline and general idea of bionics is the harmonization of nature with architecture, allowing nature and architecture to be complementary elements. Also, an important part of the bionic approach is the innovation of utilitarian architecture solutions (constructive, functional, operational, etc.), which allows us to find more effective solutions. The purpose of the study is to analyze the historical development of the bionic approach in architecture, to understand the causal relationships of bionic principles and forms of modern buildings and other architectural structures. The objectives of the research are to highlight the key points in the works of architects that influenced the formation of the bionic approach; to highlight the main bionic principles; to develop a graphical scheme for the development of the bionic concept in architecture. The main results of the study consist in the revealed interrelation of the stages of development of the concept of bionics, understanding the logic of modern issues and challenges in this area. Conclusions. The results obtained suggest a structured model for the development of the approach from the historical background of the formation of the problem to the present. |
