PROJECT OF INTEGRATING NATURE INTO THE BUSINESS SPACE OF A BUILDING IN NOVI SAD BY APPLYING BIOMIMICRY

Abstract

This paper examines the concept of biomimicry, analysing its principles and possibilities of its application, both in architecture and interior design. An analysis of biomimicry's development through history and biomimetic materials was carried out. Beside "good" examples of the application of biomimicry, this paper also presents some examples that are mistakenly considered biomimicry, with a clear explanation of why those are not. At the end, some of the researched and leared biomimetic principles were implemented in the interior and in the exterior of the „Elektrolux“ building, located in Novi Sad.
