February 16th, 2010
Guest author: Rudrajit Sabhaney
This research is an investigation of biomimetic approaches to environmental design. The study investigates complexities involved in drawing inspiration and information from natural phenomena and applying it to man made structures. A theoretical study which outlines the stages of transition from biomimetic research to architectural application is undertaken. Following which specific environmental issues in man made structures are investigated in the natural world for alternate means to address them. Of these issues control of humidly is identified for a detailed research and analysis, the outcome of which is a biomimetic dehumidification device. The parameters and the workability of the device are tested and it is proposed to be integrated into a building skin component as a – ‘Façade Integrated Dehumidification Panel’.
