Abstract:
This research paper delves into the intersection of sustainability and biomimetic design in industrial design. The approach used is a qualitative methodology, specifically a descriptive methodology through a literature review, to explore the utilization of biomimicry in sustainable industrial design. The study analyzes the definition of sustainable design and the concepts of biomimetic design, emphasizing the potential for energy efficient products. However, there are currently limited examples of large-scale application of biomimicry in design as it is a relatively new subject. The research examines case studies to provide information and data from sources such as The Europe Sustainable Development Report 2021. The research has limitations such as a potential focus on a specific aspect of industrial design and biomimicry, lack of sufficient empirical data, and practicality and feasibility of proposed solutions. Additionally, the study may only focus on a small number of case studies, which may not be representative of the broader field. The literature review presents the concepts of sustainability and its approaches, the importance of sustainable design in industrial design, and the characteristics, approaches, levels, dimensions, and strategies of biomimetic design, as well as its application in product design. The paper also includes case studies, including the methodology, data collection, and analysis used to arrive at the results and recommendations. The conclusion summarizes the key findings, that biomimicry can reduce the need for resource-intensive materials and processes, improve the performance and functionality of products, and reduce the negative impact of human activities on the environment, and provides recommendations for future research.
Keywords: sustainability, biomimetic Design, industrial Design, energy Efficiency.
