“…11 This has proved to be a major obstacle for clarifying the notion of function throughout technology, leading to its being replaced by 'use', as suggested in a recent presentation by Christoph 11 Recent and extensive treatments of the divergence of intended and actual use of artefacts from a philosophy-of-technology perspective, defending opposing positions, can be found in and . The fi rst two of our examples are discussed by Sauchelli ( 2012 ) and Priemus and Kroes ( 2008 ), resp. ; the third is ubiquitous in the literature on the functions of artefacts.…”

The Philosophy of Engineering and Technology book series provides the multifaceted and rapidly growing discipline of philosophy of technology with a central overarching and integrative platform. Specifi cally it publishes edited volumes and monographs in: the phenomenology, anthropology and socio-politics of technology and engineering the emergent fi elds of the ontology and epistemology of artifacts, design, knowledge bases, and instrumentation engineering ethics and the ethics of specifi c technologies ranging from nuclear technologies to the converging nano-, bio-, information and cognitive technologies written from philosophical and practitioners perspectives and authored by philosophers and practitioners. The series also welcomes proposals that bring these fi elds together or advance philosophy of engineering and technology in other integrative ways. Proposals should include: A short synopsis of the work or the introduction chapter. The proposed Table of Contents The CV of the lead author(s). If available: one sample chapter. We aim to make a fi rst decision within 1 month of submission. In case of a positive fi rst decision the work will be provisionally contracted: the fi nal decision about publication will depend upon the result of the anonymous peer reviewof the completemanuscript.We aim to have the completework peer-reviewed within 3months of submission. The series discourages the submission of manuscripts that contain reprints of previous published material and/or manuscripts that are below 150 pages / 75,000 words. For inquiries and submission of proposals authors can contact the editor-in-chief Pieter

“…A far more popular family of theories is artistic contextualism, the main point of which is that the connection between artistic value and moral value, when present and relevant, is not systematic in the sense that it is not always true that a work having a defective moral character is thereby less valuable as a work of art. This last claim does not rule out the possibility that certain works are so morally repulsive that their immorality constitutes an aesthetic or artistic switch off (see Sauchelli 2012b).…”

“…This claim could be achieved within the quality of design elements in terms of shapes, colours, lines, and so on [36]. Thus, the next section will discuss the importance of understanding the pattern and its layers as part of the creative design process in nature and architecture.…”

Demands for new architecture that is more fluid, interactive, functional, and adaptable to the changes of economic atmosphere and design principles are changing the concept of forms and aesthetics. However, despite the role of technology, the architectural design elements of buildings have often been developed separately, in terms of artistic and functional features, in a way that affects the flexibility and quality of the design process along with its impact on the built environment. This issue calls for the need to explore an interdisciplinary design approach that combines biology and architecture in order to improve both individual and overall quality of design. This paper will, therefore, provide a review of literature that draws on the important characteristics of bio-inspired design material and its impact on an effective design in a way that can capture the specifications needed to enhance the development of a digital prototype that caters for the flexibility and overall quality of design aesthetically and functionally.
