“…The criteria that such an algorithm would have to meet are informed by the morphology of the original biological structure. The goal of the biomimetic process is to create systems that are informed by the science and functions of nature (Verma and Punekar, 2017), not merely by the Figure 1 The workflow of the proposed biomimetic design strategy characterized by loops of feedback between its different stages. aesthetic forms as in the case of biomorphism (Grigson, 1970).…”

The paper presents research findings on the development of strategies for biomimetic design, that synthesize contemporary digital technologies of analysis, design, and prototyping. The proposed methodology has been validated through three case studies of biological shells which were analyzed with digital imaging technologies (SEM) to identify biomimetic design principles. Algorithmic design tools were implemented as part of a "design by analogy" process to extract and emulate the biological design solutions, to be constructed with the use of additive manufacturing (AM). A set of design iterations was produced with incremental changes in functional design parameters to examine the technical properties of the structure through Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and mechanical testing of the physical specimens and identify trends in its mechanical performance. Within the methodology developed in this research, bidirectional loops of feedback between the different stages of biomimetic design were created. The topological characteristics and function of the biomimetic models informed the AM technology and process, as well as the FEA and testing methods. At the same time, the fabrication requirements, and constraints along with the mechanical characterization results counterinformed the biologically inspired designs. The paper presents the outcomes of this iterative optimization process, supporting the role of biomimicry for the development of efficient and sustainable design solutions that can be applied to contemporary design, responding to architectural and engineering challenges.

“…Nature has been a source of inspiration for man since time immemorial. Verma and Punekar (2017) in their review of published literature on Nature-Inspired Design (NID) focused on two professional groups' viz. Researchers/Scientists/Engineers and Designers/Architects/Painters/ Artists to examine terminologies, processes, and methods.…”

This paper follows a design science approach to inquire into the act of creation of nature-inspired product forms. Structured on Nigel Cross taxonomy, it considers three aspects for design research: Processes, Products, and People. In this paper, we discuss two aspects of the framework examining Processes & Methods by undertaking a comparative study of methods in the published literature on the generation of product forms inspired by nature. The second aspect, the study of Products is a qualitative study of visual elements of product form inspired by nature. The paper explores the possibilities of developing i) systematic design research and ii) systematic design practice in exploring nature-inspired product forms.
