Boca Raton : CRC Press, 2013 xxii, 242 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm Biomimetics series Includes bibliographical references (pages 211-227) and index. "Biology influences design projects in many ways; the related impact is known as biomimetics or biomimicry. Investigating the animal kingdom as a source of inspiration, this book focuses on the analysis of various animal skins, translating the learned principles into the built environment. Skin is a complex organ that performs various functions; similarly, building envelopes serve multiple roles as interfaces between building inhabitants and environmental elements. The resulting architectural building coverings take into consideration dynamic local environmental conditions. The text illustrates how supporting biomimetic principles can create a more sustainable way of building and living"-- ARC 31223 Architecture and biology. 20295 Architectural design. 20296 Biomimicry. 20297 SCIENCE / Life Sciences / Evolution. bisacsh 20298 TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING / Industrial Health & Safety. bisacsh 20299 Price, Shauna. 20300 ddc BK 0 1 ddc 0 729_000000000000000_MAZ 0 59527 ARC ARC GEN 2016-08-07 Karim International 6600.00 0 729 MAZ 3010031223 2016-08-07 1 2016-08-07 BK lost from the ARC department library and approved by the Dean (reasons personal books withdrawn by Hasibul Kabir Sir and Building shifting)
