Abstract

In the face of mounting environmental concerns and rising energy demands, this study explores the convergence of biomimicry and technology in architectural façade design. Drawing from natural adaptive strategies, biomimetic architecture offers ecologically attuned, energy-efficient, and user-centric solutions. Employing analytical methods, this research reviews international case studies such as Council House 2 (Australia), Water Cube (China), and Esplanade Theatres (Singapore), examining bio-inspired strategies across organism, behavioral, and ecosystem levels. A synthesized design matrix highlights key performance criteria including energy savings, ventilation, and adaptability. Findings demonstrate how nature-inspired and tech-enabled designs foster scalable, sustainable façade innovations
