Bio-Inspired Sustainability Assessment for Building Product Development—Concept and Case Study

Abstract: Abstract:Technological advancement culminating in a globalized economy has brought tremendous improvements for mankind in manifold respects but comes at the cost of alienation from nature. Human activities nowadays are unsustainable and cause severe damage especially in terms of global depletion and destabilization of natural systems but also harm its own social resources. In this paper, a sustainability assessment method is developed based on a bio-inspired sustainability framework that has been developed in … Show more

“…The project started following the design philosophy: “Materials as a Design Tool” [ 19 ] combined with a synthesis of primarily inductive and partially deductive methodology. The aim was to further investigate the applicability of Tailored Fiber Placement in the field of architecture and how the material-appropriate application of NFRP can contribute to structural optimization and increase the sustainability level as once indicated using another material development in architecture from the same BioMat group [ 11 ]. The iterative design process included manual and digital computational design, parameter driven optimization and digital fabrication.…”

“…Sustainability is defined by the World Commission on Environment and Development as the ability to meet current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs [1]. One major problem facing mankind is the growing world population and the related pressure on construction environment [2]. Fibers, mainly including metal fibers, synthetic fibers, and natural fibers, are widely used today for building reinforcement of cementitious composites.…”
