Abstract:
This research aims to explore the integration of nature-inspired design principles in architectural aesthetics. With the growing concern for sustainability and the desire to create harmonious built environments, architects are increasingly turning to nature for inspiration. This study will investigate how incorporating elements such as biomimicry, biophilia, and ecological design can enhance the aesthetic appeal of architectural spaces while promoting sustainability. By analyzing case studies and conducting surveys, this research will provide valuable insights into the benefits and challenges of integrating nature-inspired design principles in architectural aesthetics.
