Introduction -- Biomimicry - Milieu, History, and Approaches -- Biomimicry Influence in Architecture Design -- Biomimicry Role in Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation -- Global Outlook and Sustainability Applications of Biomimicry in Architecture -- Biomimicry in Criticism -- Biomimicry Innovation and Post COVID-19 Regulations and Suggestions.

This book focuses on understanding biomimetic architecture and its role as a sustainable design tool. It presents the role of biomimicry in mitigation and adaptation to climate change and examines how biomimetic architecture can provide healthy solutions to limit the spread of COVID-19 in buildings and cities. Coverage includes global examples of biomimetic approaches and buildings, an evaluation of the performance of biomimicry applications in architecture to illustrate best practices, and an exploration of how nature can offer inspiration in building design to conserve resources and save energy use as well as curb carbon emissions - a reaffirmed goal of COP 26 and an outcome of Glasgow Climate Pact. Finally, the book presents guidelines to enhance urban areas and healthier spaces in buildings to meet COVID-19 social distance regulations and beyond. Examines global applications of biomimicry in architecture; Highlights the importance of biomimicry in driving livability in cities and buildings; Explores the role of biomimetic architecture in mitigating climate change. "The line of argument developed is highly relevant to the present, in addition to being original and pertinent to research on urban regeneration, especially in regard to the exploration of the use of biomimicry architecture in response to changing urban demands." -Alessandra Battisti, Ph.D., Professor of Architecture, University of Rome La Sapienza-.
