Abstract

This review study delves into the use of Biomimicry in sustainable architecture, examining its ethical, philosophical, and psychological implications. The paper explores different approaches to Biomimicry, the intersection of Biomimicry with sustainable construction technologies, passive cooling strategies, emulation of sustainable ecosystems, net-zero construction techniques, and innovative 3D-printed homes. The main aim of this study is to provide an overview of sustainable construction technologies and highlight Biomimicry's role in developing passive cooling solutions and sustainable ecosystems. Additionally, integrating Biomimicry principles into net-zero construction techniques emphasizes the potential of architecture to contribute to a carbon-neutral future. The paper also discusses how using Biomimicry in 3D-printed homes can help compensate for the need for rapid urbanization while being aligned with maintaining the planet's health. Synthesizing the impact of Biomimicry on sustainable architecture, emphasizing the ethical responsibilities of architects, and the broader philosophical implications of adopting nature-inspired design principles have been explored. The knowledge gaps found from this study inspire a paradigm shift in architectural thinking, promoting a balance between technological progress and a deep respect for nature, and a commitment to creating a sustainable and ethically responsible built environment.

社会中的生物启发技术：促进可持续发展的伦理和建筑创新

本综述研究深入探讨了可持续建筑中生物模仿的应用，研究了其在伦理、哲学和心理方面的影响。本文探讨了仿生学的不同方法、仿生学与可持续建筑技术的交叉、被动冷却策略、可持续生态系统的模拟、净零建筑技术以及创新 3D 打印住宅。本研究的主要目的是概述可持续建筑技术，强调生物仿生学在开发被动冷却解决方案和可持续生态系统中的作用。此外，将生物仿生学原理融入净零建筑技术，强调了建筑为碳中和未来做出贡献的潜力。本文还讨论了在 3D 打印住宅中使用生物仿生学如何有助于弥补快速城市化的需要，同时又与维护地球健康保持一致。本文综合了生物模仿对可持续建筑的影响，强调了建筑师的道德责任，并探讨了采用自然启发设计原则的广泛哲学含义。从这项研究中发现的知识差距激发了建筑思维范式的转变，促进了技术进步与对自然的深刻尊重之间的平衡，并致力于创造一个可持续的、有道德责任感的建筑环境。

期刊介绍： Technology in Society is a global journal dedicated to fostering discourse at the crossroads of technological change and the social, economic, business, and philosophical transformation of our world. The journal aims to provide scholarly contributions that empower decision-makers to thoughtfully and intentionally navigate the decisions shaping this dynamic landscape. A common thread across these fields is the role of technology in society, influencing economic, political, and cultural dynamics. Scholarly work in Technology in Society delves into the social forces shaping technological decisions and the societal choices regarding technology use. This encompasses scholarly and theoretical approaches (history and philosophy of science and technology, technology forecasting, economic growth, and policy, ethics), applied approaches (business innovation, technology management, legal and engineering), and developmental perspectives (technology transfer, technology assessment, and economic development). Detailed information about the journal's aims and scope on specific topics can be found in Technology in Society Briefings, accessible via our Special Issues and Article Collections.
