“…This approach allows you to monitor the operation of an object, analyze its life cycle in dynamics and affect it. This is of particular importance in an environment where the capacity and capabilities of the Territory are likely to change, new functions may need to be introduced and, accordingly, the architectural structure may need to be modified and updated [26][27].…”

Architecture is characterized by a correction of design approaches that take into account new discoveries. Changing scientific paradigm also influences this process by introducing extra details into the architectural objects workflows. The synergistic paradigm that influences mostly appears in the tendency to create architecture that meets the ideal standards of sustainable design, capable design which is of self-development and self-regulation. A unique feature of the synergistic paradigm that can fundamentally change the approach to design is its relation to the evolutionary process. According to this concept, evolution in its path passes through points of bifuciation – special states of instability – when possible ways of further development are clear and it becomes possible for us to choose and follow one of them. This approach takes into account changing data and corrects decisions during the process. This is especially relevant when designing architectural objects for harsh climate conditions, as additional difficulties may arise in the process of construction and operation, and the unexpectedly arising issues, which may unanticipated arise itself during the usage of the object and can have a disastrous effects on it.

“…It is emphasized that the fractal dimension value of 1.3 is common in natural landscapes and fractals with fractal dimensions in the mid-range value of 1.3 -1.5 are naturally perceived and preferred. Values of less than 1.3 or more than 1.6 were found to have low preference [42][43][44][45][46]. If the fractal structure is reflected in urban spaces as the geometric language of nature, it positively affects the visual quality of the city.…”

“…The concept introduced by Mandelbort in 1977 as he suggests that the 'natural' world cannot be properly defined using only one, two or three dimensional Euclidean geometry. He developed this concept to explain the complexity of nature calling it the geometry of nature [42][43][44][45][46][47].…”

“…The boxcounting method is widely used to measure fractal dimension due to ease of implementation. In addition, it has been found to be suitable for architecture and urban analysis [46]. Fractal dimension has been implemented in many studies, and was successful at capturing the preference of the users in the natural environment [42,43], built environment [43], and the visual qualities of street vistas [44][45][46].…”

“…Fractal, a fragment of a larger whole, can be characterized as rugged, self‐similar, and infinitely complex. [ 21 ] Phytology reveals that self‐similarity are very common in plants. For instance, florets and its segments of a cauliflower are same as the whole but smaller.…”

Solar evaporation is considered a promising technology to address the issue of fresh water scarcity. Although many efforts have been directed towards increasing the solar-thermal conversion efficiency, there remain challenges to develop efficient and cost-effective solar-thermal materials from readily available raw materials. Furthermore, further structural modification of the original biomass structure, particularly at multiple length scales, are seldom reported, which may further improve the solar-thermal performance of these material systems. Herein, a novel low-cost system is developed based on a common bio-waste, pomelo peels (PPs), through a bioinspired fractal structural design strategy, fractal carbonized pomelo peels (FCPP). This FCPP system shows an extremely high solar spectrum absorption of ≈98%, and marvelous evaporation rate of 1.95 kg m −2 h −1 with a solar-thermal efficiency of 92.4%. In addition, the mechanisms of the evaporation enhancement by fractal structural design are identified by numerical and experimental methods. Moreover, using FCPP in solar desalination shows great superiority in terms of cost and its potential in sewage treatment is also studied. The present work is an insightful attempt on providing a novel proposal to develop bio-waste-derived solar-thermal materials and construct biomimetic structures for efficient solar evaporation and applications.
