Selected in 9th cycle of Mirmiran Architecture Award (Bionic Arcitecture)
Project Description:
The bionic architecture is an Approach that Inspired by nature for creativity and innovation in Architectural designs and it solves the Technical architecture problems through the Benchmarking of nature.
Idea:
Human architecture natural inspiration the bee architecture
Phrases and keywords that were helping in the formation of ideas:
-Architecture is the art science of forming the living space.
-The relationship between man, nature and architecture is a fact that embrace all of the theoretical, philosophical and research sience.
-Design processes based on the nature and biological patterns.
-Select the desired phenomena in nature identify the biological properties identify the characteristics of the architecture.
-Home and architecture in the Qur'an
Honey is nature's most sophisticated architects-
-Bees live social and build their required spaces instinctive.
-In a comparison of algebraic and numerical can be found that mathematical relationship
Between honey and honey wax in Hexagon far more than the square and the circle one.
-Also, by establishing a mathematical relationship, it can be concluded that number of rooms in Hexagon, independent of the size of the hive, the rate of 15.4 percent is higher than other states.
-Mathematicians found that the best way for build a ware house and maximum amount of saving is division of page into Hexagon because less hexagonal environment, causes the bees, apply less wax to build the hive.
-When bees leaving a hive and migrate to the new hive, prefer to transfer the wax in the old hive into the new one, instead of making a new wax.(Stability and reused in the construction of the hive)
-One of the most resistant structures that used in different sciences such as civil structures, missile structures, aviation industry , is honey comb structure, which is derived from the structure of the hexagonal honey comb.
-"And thy Lord taught the Bee to build its cells in hills, on trees, and in (men's) habitations"(68-Nahl)
