A FRAMEWORK TO FOLLOW IN DESIGNING STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL ARCHITECTURAL OBJECTS WITHIN A FLORISM-BASED MODEL

Abstract

Although several buildings of cultural and commercial significance have emerged in different parts of the world, imbibing the structural and functional features of floral anatomy, floristry is still at an evolutionary stage as a new dimension of biomimetic architecture. In response to the worldwide adoption of flower-oriented architectural designs, this paper proposes a framework to follow in developing a floristry-based model that could be used while forming structural and functional architectural objects to suit buildings constructed under multi-dimensional urban development projects. A detailed presentation of the exercise is created, encompassing all the essential biomimetic principles based on floristry. When constructing this framework, the primary focus is on integrating sustainable and environmentally conscious architectural concepts, which are paramount to the proposal. During the development of the model, techniques for drawing inspiration from floral morphology and behavioral patterns are examined, along with guidance on how to integrate them into architectural designs. In that respect, the paper strives to identify a set of fundamental elements in a building focused on its usage, sustainability, and maintenance in an environment-friendly mode. In addition, to present an appropriate set of floristic sources to assist the design of objects of the boundary field of "biology", laying the foundation for a comprehensive understanding of floristry in contemporary architectural activity. The focus of this paper is on public multifunctional buildings
