“…In this way, the substance is stimulated and reacts to various stimuli while optimizing for perfect circumstances. The BIOMS team hypothesizes that its breathable membrane, which is digitally manufactured by the integration of 3-D printing polymerization, may be included in new structures like small emerging emergency enclosures or open tropical spaces like markets and schools, and they are interested in how its research methods will help modify how natural and human resources are used in times of crisis [11].…”

Nowadays, people face two serious problems: the energy problem and the depletion of natural resources. Current solutions for managing environmental change have caused a great deal of waste of energy on heating, cooling, ventilation, and lighting of our buildings. In the current paper, we propose an innovative multidisciplinary design system to combine biology, engineering, and basic principles of architecture for the construction of the building envelope that regulates environmental aspects. The study is based on adaptation strategies from biological systems and the contribution of “smart” materials and technologies toward the energy optimization of modern and future constructions, through the imitation of biological functions. Four bio-inspiration case studies are presented along with their architectural application, finishing with a comparative analysis to assess how well this methodology can be used in both present and future architecture and design. This research’s objective is to show how we can create a systematic transfer of knowledge between biology and technology. It aims to learn from biological principles and to apply this understanding to the development of bio-inspired structures, to understand the importance and impact that the use of bio-inspiration in architecture can have on the energy discussion.

“…The Material Dynamics Lab at the New Jersey Institute of Technology experiments with the integration of electroand thermo-responsive smart materials for systems like the Homeostatic facade that can adapt to their local environment (Decker 2013). Similarly, collaborators in interactive and responsive design at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich explore organic kinetics in architectural applications using electroluminescent screens, electroactive polymers, and flexible audio panels to generate emotive and responsive environments (Kretzer et al 2013) The Sabin Design Lab at Cornell explores the integration of passive materials, sensors, and imagers into responsive building eSkins (Sabin 2015). The Center for Architecture Science and Ecology (CASE) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is developing Electroactive Dynamic Display Systems (EDDS) to address energy performance goals of building facades while simultaneously allowing for a range of information patterning and user control (Dyson et al 2013).…”

HCI is a multidisciplinary field focused on human aspects of the development of computer technology. As computer-based technology becomes increasingly pervasive -not just in developed countries, but worldwide -the need to take a human-centered approach in the design and development of this technology becomes ever more important. For roughly 30 years now, researchers and practitioners in computational and behavioral sciences have worked to identify theory and practice that influences the direction of these technologies, and this diverse work makes up the field of human-computer interaction. Broadly speaking it includes the study of what technology might be able to do for people and how people might interact with the technology. The HCI series publishes books that advance the science and technology of developing systems which are both effective and satisfying for people in a wide variety of contexts. Titles focus on theoretical perspectives (such as formal approaches drawn from a variety of behavioral sciences), practical approaches (such as the techniques for effectively integrating user needs in system development), and social issues (such as the determinants of utility, usability and acceptability).
