| Abstract | ||
| Adaptation strategies and principles can be learned from nature. It has developed through their evolution various strategies to cope with the different climatic aspects that suit different environmental conditions. Investigating and analyzing these strategies and their dominating principles is essential prior to the transfer of their strategies to adaptive building envelopes. From plant adaptations to Building envelopes using biomimicry. This approach can help future building skins to be more responsive and adaptive that change with time to adapt environmental conditions to both external and internal conditions and satisfies thermal comfort levels. | ||
