Abstract
Biomimicry is an applied science that derives inspiration for solutions to human problems through the study of natural designs, processes and systems. The widespread and practical application of biomimicry as a design method remains unrealized; interior architecture commonly use biology as a library of shapes, but this alone is not biomimetics; it has to have some biology in it. This paper reviews key points and case studies of applications of biomimicry in interior architecture. A critique of the applications shows that biomimetics is the way to innovation and sustainability and interior architecture must move beyond the formalistic characteristics of nature.
