Bionics – biologically inspired design of engineering

Abstract

Bionics is an interdisciplinary field of research and transpositions of models created by nature in innovative human technique and technology. It concerns many fields of activity: architecture, technique, design, etc. Bionics represents the basis for the development of many innovations of various spheres of human performances, as well as in design and engineering, being used in the creation of new forms and texture imitations, in finding chromatic solution or imitation of the properties of living organisms. This application helps humans to create new concepts of industrial design inspiring from nature and to understand the function of certain products to find better solutions of their utilization by consumers. It can have a scientific educational reason, with the emphasis on interdisciplinarity, as well as a special thinking and educational behaviour for students, the nature being an inexhaustible source of ideas applicable in designing modern industrial objects, involving the implementation of ecological thinking with the emphasis on protection biodiversity perceived through bionics as a source of innovation for human civilization.
