| Abstract | ||
| Nature is one of the most important sources of inspiration and creativity for the human being in general, the architect and the interior designer in particular. The images of the forms of simulation and imitation of nature are countless, while the process of simulating nature is one of the most important strategies for sustainability in architecture and interior design processes with all its elements, and that through Achieving one of the following axes (formal treatment - functional treatment - technological treatment) or through the merging between them, as these three treatments are the most important products of simulating one of the elements of nature, as it is the result of the interaction of a group of forces with the organism whose behavior is simulated towards one of the external stimuli and influences Until its biological nature returns to balance, as is the case in the adaptation of plants to moisture and drought, for example. Through the research, strategies for simulating the environment will be studied through two basic stages: firstly, conducting biological research on the characteristics and behavior of a particular organism towards a stimulus, and second converting the results into a design that simulates the environment and interacts with it with the same behavior of the organism that has been studied biologically. | ||
