Abstract
Nature provides a remarkable database of possible adaptation strategies that can be implemented in biomimetic design of shading systems. However, at this moment, successful design methods are conditioned to a limited knowledge and ability to emulate nature’s strategies to meet corresponding functional needs. The implementation of biomimetic processes has as some major challenges: 1- the search and selection among several databases of appropriate strategies adopted by nature; 2- difficulties in reading, interpreting and translating at different scales; 3- connection problems between concepts and material premises. The selection of nature models is a very common situation among architectural projects. Form, structures, motion, processes, morphologies and systems are available mimicking strategies, that could be implemented at different scales, contexts, materials, elements among others.
